Question

Please help!

Explain in your own words how to write an equivalent expression in expanded form when given an expression in the form of ( + ). Then, create your own example to show off what you know.

Answer 1

We can write an equivalent expression by expanding the given expression:

Suppose a binomial with the 2 terms being added. We can expand the first term into x+x if the original first term is 2x and so on with the other term(s).

Answer 2

Answer:In this example, we have been given the factored form of the expression.

 To answer this question, we can create a model to represent 2( +).

 Let’s start by creating a model to represent ( + ).
