(a) p (p – q) + q (q – r) + r (r – p)
= (p2 – pq) + (q2 – qr) + (r2 – pr)
= p2 + q2 + r2 – pq – qr – pr
(b) 2x (z – x – y) + 2y (z – y – x)
= (2xz – 2x2 – 2xy) + (2yz – 2y2 – 2xy)
= 2xz – 4xy + 2yz – 2x2 – 2y2
(c) 4l (10 n – 3 m + 2 l) – 3l (l – 4 m + 5 n)
= (40ln – 12lm + 8l2) – (3l2 – 12lm + 15ln)
= 40ln – 12lm + 8l2 – 3l2 +12lm -15 ln
= 25 ln + 5l2
(d) 4c (– a + b + c) – (3a (a + b + c) – 2 b (a – b + c))
= (-4ac + 4bc + 4c2) – (3a2 + 3ab + 3ac – (2ab – 2b2 + 2bc))
=-4ac + 4bc + 4c2 – (3a2 + 3ab + 3ac – 2ab + 2b2 – 2bc)
= -4ac + 4bc + 4c2 – 3a2 – 3ab – 3ac +2ab – 2b2 + 2bc
= -7ac + 6bc + 4c2 – 3a2 – ab – 2b2
