Simplifying Algebraic Expressions

Question 4 • Algebraic Reasoning TSI 26-27 Supplemental Wk3

Use the algebra titles to determine which expression is equivalent to –5x + 4.

Answer
A
(-3x) + 3 + (-2x) + 1
B
(-3x) + 3 + (2x) + 1
C
3x + 3 + 2x + 1
D
(-3x) + (-3) + (-2x) + (-1)

Explanation

Combine like terms in each expression. In choice A, (−3x) + (−2x) = −5x, and 3 + 1 = 4, giving −5x + 4. The other choices do not combine to that expression.
