Draw the polynomial expression using Algebra Tiles:

3x - 4

What expression is being modeled by this picture?

• TRUE

• FALSE

Which two equations below when added together give us the following image?

• (3x² + 2x - 8) + (-3x + 6)

• (-6x² + x - 5) + (9x² + x + 3)

• (6x² - x + 5) + (-9x² - x - 3)

• (-3x² - 2x + 8) + (3x - 6)

Complete the multiplication area model for (2x + 3) (x - 4).
