Exercise 2 Page 356

Write the algebraic expression modeled by the tiles and simplify it by combining like terms.

-x^2+x

Practice makes perfect

Let's examine each of the given algebra tiles and what they represent.

We have one tile that represents x, and one tile whose value is -x^2. By adding these, we can create an algebraic expression modeled by the tiles. x+( -x^2) Finally, we will simplify the above expression. -x^2+ x
