Question

Write an expression that looks like Sarah’s expression: 5(2j + 3 + j). Replace the coefficients so that your expression is not equivalent. You may use any number that you choose to replace the coefficients. Be sure to leave the variables the same. For example, 8(3j + 7 + 3j) looks like Sarah’s expression but is not equivalent.
Translate the algebraic expression you created in Question 1 to a verbal expression.

Answer 1

Use your knowledge of the mathematical properties to create two equivalent algebraic expressions for the algebraic expression you created in Question 1. Explain how you arrived at the equivalent expressions by showing all your steps and stating which properties you used.
Use substitution to prove your algebraic expressions are equivalent. You may substitute any number for the variables you choose. Show all your work for complete credit.

Answer 2

Write a few sentences to end Sarah’s story. How many shark teeth did she find? How many shark teeth did John find? How much money did Sarah earn?

Answer 15

actually this isnt that hard :/
5(2j + 3 + j)
make something that looks similar to this using any numbers

Answer 16

there is more to it
look at the second and third comment

Answer 17

the terms with the j can be combined @pooja195

Answer 18

@UsukiDoll look at their example

Answer 19

@FlamePlaysMC can you try to create something similar to
5(2j + 3 +j )?

Answer 20

mhm... suppose I just combine.
5(2j + 3 + j).
5(3j+3)
when 5 is distributed.... we have 15j+15

had I left the example untouched and just distributed the 5
10j+15+5j

Answer 21

That helpes with part 3

Answer 22

hmmm.... it's like I had
(5 x 2)j + (5 x 3) +(5x1)j
like the five times table only out of order.

Answer 23

that makes it look so much more confusing
