To solve the expression (a+b) × (c-d), you can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition/subtraction. This property states that the product of a term and a sum/difference is equal to the sum/difference of the products of each term.
So, in this case, you can distribute (a+b) to both terms in the parentheses:
(a+b) × (c-d) = a × (c-d) + b × (c-d)
To simplify further, you can use the distributive property again to multiply each term inside the parentheses:
= a × c - a × d + b × c - b × d
The final simplified expression is:
= ac - ad + bc - bd
