Question

Write two equivalent expressions to represent the area of the rectangle below,
n-3
2

Answer 1

Area equals 2(n-3)
Area equals (n-3) x 2

Answer 2

Two equivalent expressions for the area of the rectangle (n - 3) * 2 are 2n - 6 and 2(n - 3), obtained by simplifying through distribution and reordering terms.

Let's find two equivalent expressions to represent the area of the rectangle:

(n−3)⋅2

We can simplify the expression by re-ordering the terms and distributing:

Steps to solve:

1. Re-order terms so constants are on the left:

2(n−3)

2. Distribute:

2n−6

Answer:

2n−6

2(n−3)
