Question

Write an equivalent expression to the expression b+b+b+b+b that is a sum of two terms.

Answer 1

3b + 2b =

Explanation:

b + b + b + b + b is basically the same as 5b

And the easiest way to break that down into 2 terms is 3 + 2

If you want to double check just plug any number in

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10

(3 x 2) + (2 x 2) = 10
