To model the algebraic expression
- The variable
is typically represented by a rectangular tile, often colored (in this case, orange). - The constant
(the number 2) is represented by two square tiles, also often colored (in this case, orange).
Based on this understanding, let’s evaluate the provided statements:
-
cannot be modeled with algebra tiles.- False. The expression
can be modeled with algebra tiles.
- False. The expression
-
The variable
is represented by a rectangular orange x tile.- True. The variable
is represented by a rectangular tile.
- True. The variable
-
The variable
is represented by a square orange + tile.- False. The variable
is not represented by a square tile.
- False. The variable
-
+ 2 is represented by 2 rectangular orange x tiles.
- False. The constant
is represented by 2 square tiles, not rectangular tiles.
- False. The constant
-
+ 2 is represented by 2 square orange + tiles.
- True. The constant
is represented by 2 square tiles.
- True. The constant
Thus, the true statements are:
- The variable
is represented by a rectangular orange x tile. is represented by 2 square orange + tiles.
