Draw an X-tile that you would show in the algebra expressions
If you drew a long rectangle that is correct
Rewrite the expression without parentheses: 2(x+6)
2x+12
Rewrite the following expressions by pulling out a common factor and rewrite it with parentheses:
2x+4
2(x+2)
Draw a unit tile that you would draw for an algebraic expression
Rewrite the expression without parentheses:
6(2X+6)
12X+36
Rewrite the following expressions by pulling out a common factor and rewrite it with parentheses:
4x+16
2(2x+8)
or
4(x+4)
Draw a algebra tile picture for the step: Multiply your original number by 4
Rewrite the expression without parentheses: 3x(5+6)
15x+18
Rewrite the following expressions by pulling out a common factor and rewrite it with parentheses:
5x+15
5(x+3)
Draw a algebra tile picture for the steps: Multiply your original number by 3, and add 8
You should have 3 x-tiles, and 8 unit tiles
Rewrite the expression without parentheses: 2(x-14)
2x-28
6x-18
3(2x-6) or
6(x-3)
Draw algebra tiles for 4x+3x+6
Should have 7 X tiles, and 6 unit tiles
Rewrite the following expression without parentheses: 2(x+2) - 4(x+6)
2x+4-4x-24
Then, when you simplify it more it is -2x-20
