Writing two brackets next to each other means the brackets need to be multiplied together. For example, ( y + 2 ) ( y + 3 ) means ( y + 2 ) × ( y + 3 ) . When expanding double brackets, every term in the first bracket has to be multiplied by every term in the second bracket.

What do two parentheses mean in math?
The first way tells us to multiply. When we see two or more numbers together that are separated by parentheses, then the parentheses are telling us to multiply. For example, when we see 5(2), the parentheses are telling us to multiply the 5 and the 2 together.
What are double brackets called?
Double brackets (or white square brackets or Scott brackets), ⟦ ⟧, are used to indicate the semantic evaluation function in formal semantics for natural language and denotational semantics for programming languages.
How do you distribute double parentheses?
When you distribute in algebra, you multiply each of the terms within the parentheses by another term that is outside the parentheses. So, when you distribute a binomial over several terms, you just apply the distribution process twice. Break the first binomial into its two terms.
