wrong, n divided by 2and 2 multiplied by n
Ms. Sue
Check out the difference(?) between

10/2 and 0.5 * 10 and 1/2 of 10
or
24/2 and 0.5 * 24 and 1/2 of 24

Aren't they the same? Don't they all get the same answers?

2 * n = 2n




Shavaleir
the book wants you to write an algebric expression for half of a Number so that is N/2 and twice a Number which is N^2
Shavaleir
Can you help me with the one below this one in my name
Ms. Sue
Oops -- twice a number is NOT the same as N squared.

5 * 2 = 10
5^2 = 25


I suggest you study your book more thoroughly.



Ms. Sue
I don't remember how to factor those problems.
Shavaleir
Can you have someone who knows help me please?
Ms. Sue
They already have. :-)

Shavaleir
Thank You.
Ms. Sue
