i1

Correct - 2x+2x+8+8=4x+16 i4

Correct - 4(x+4)=4x+16 i2

Incorrect - 2x(2+8)=4x+16x, not 4x+16 i3

Incorrect - 4x+4x+4x+4x=4(x×4), not 4(x+4), which equals 4x+16 i5

Incorrect - 4x(1+4)=4x+16x, not 4x+16

Yvonne’s age, in years, is represented by y. Rebekah’s age is one year less than three times Yvonne’s age.

Which expression represents Rebekah’s age, in years?

Select one answer.

    3y−1
  2. B.
    1−3y
  3. C.
    3(y−1)
  4. D.
    3(1−y)
i1

To determine the correct expression, the student could have represented three times Yvonne’s age as 3y. Subtracting 1 from 3y would represent 1 less than three times Yvonne’s age. Rebekah’s age would then be represented as 3y – 1.i2
