This question is incomplete has it lacks the diagram showing the box of tiles that Gabriel and Kayla were given.

Find attached to this answer the diagram showing the box is tiles that Gabriel and Kayla were given.

Answer:

The expression i think Gabriel might have written is

3x + 6

Explanation:

From the attached diagram , we have 3 rows

One row has 3 green boxes painted Green with the inscription "x" on each box.

The other 2 rows are painted orange with the inscription "1"on each box.

For the green boxes, we add up the 3 boxes and we get

x + x + x = 3x

For the orange boxes, based on their close proximity to one another, we add them up as well and we get:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

Bringing both the green and orange boxes together, we have:

3x + 6

Hence, the expression i think Gabriel might have written is :

3x + 6.
