To evaluate how algebra tiles represent like terms and zero pair
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Polynomial expressions
Formula used: Algebra Tiles
Calculation:
Let an polynomial expression be,
5x+6-2x+2
Here, 5x us represented by 5 green tiles, 6 is represented by 6 yellow tiles, -2x is represented by 2 red tiles and 2 is represented by 2 yellow tiles.
On solving, 5x and -2x substracts. Hence, they are zero pairs so they will be represented as shown below.
6 and 2 adds, hence they are like terms and they will be placed together, as shown below.
Result, is 3x+8
