Write the algebraic expression modeled by the tiles and simplify it by combining like terms.
3x^2-x+1
Let's examine each of the given algebra tiles and what they represent.
We have three tiles that represent x^2, one tile that represents - x, and one tile whose value is 1. By adding these, we can create an algebraic expression modeled by the tiles. x^2+ x^2+ x^2+( - x)+1 Finally, we will combine like terms to simplify the above expression. 3 x^2 - x+1
