Question

Use algebra tiles to model the expression. Then, use the model to help you write an equivalent expression, and complete the statements.

3(x+1)
Model the expression as groups of x+1.
There are v tiles.
There are v+1 tiles.

The equivalent expression is:

a) 3x+3
b) 3x
c) 3x+1
d) 4x+3

Answer 1

Finall Answer:

The equivalent expression is a) 3x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer represents the correct equivalent expression for the given algebraic model.

The expression 3(x+1) means that you have three groups of (x+1). So, if you distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses, you get 3x + 3, which accurately represents the model using algebraic tiles. Each group of (x+1) comprises an 'x' tile and a '1' tile, totaling '3x' tiles and '3' unit tiles. This corresponds to option a) 3x+3.

Therefore, the correct answer is a. probability.
