Question

Use the algebra tiles to model x + 1.

Then choose the answer that describes the correct tiles.
one blue x tile and one orange + tile
one orange x tile and one blue – tile
one blue x tile and one blue – tile
one orange x tile and one orange + tile

Answer 1

To model the expression \( x + 1 \) using algebra tiles, we typically use:

- A blue tile to represent the variable \( x \) (since blue is commonly used to represent a positive variable).
- An orange tile to represent the constant \( +1 \) (since orange is often used for positive constants).

So, the correct choice to model \( x + 1 \) would be:

**One blue x tile and one orange + tile.**
