a[b+(c-d)]
= ab+a(c-d)
= ab + ac -ad
Just use distributivity.

Using the parentheses and brackts, solve it from the inside out.
In other words:
1. Solve for c minus d, first.
2. Solve for b plus the result of step 1.
3. Solve for a times the result of step 2.

Depends on what variable you are solving for. However, simplifying involves distibution of "a", which gives ab +ac-ad as the resultant.
