Question

"How would you represent
the following expression using Alegbra tiles?
-3(2x - 4)

Answer 1

To represent the expression -3(2x - 4) using Algebra tiles, you would need negative tiles and variable tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the expression -3(2x - 4) using Algebra tiles, you would need to use two types of tiles: negative tiles and variable tiles. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start by representing 2x - 4 using the variable tiles. Place two x tiles and four negative unit tiles.
2. Next, represent -3 by taking three negative unit tiles.
3. Multiply the two representations together by combining the tiles. This will give you the final representation of -3(2x - 4).

Remember, negative unit tiles represent negative numbers, and x tiles represent variables.
