Question

drag tiles to the board to represent the expression. model the problem with algebra tiles. then use the model to write an algebraic expression that represents the situation. bernadette bought six more fish for her tank. how can you model this situation? the situation can be modeled by algebra tiles with and . the situation can be represented as an algebraic expression as . board sum: 0 reset

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

The situation is about adding 6 more fish. In algebra, addition is used.

Step2: Define the variable

Let the original number of fish be $x$.

Step3: Write the algebraic expression

The new - number of fish is the original number plus 6, so the expression is $x + 6$.

Answer:

The situation can be modeled by algebra tiles with 1 positive unit tile and 6 positive unit tiles. The algebraic expression is $x+6$ (assuming the original number of fish is represented by $x$).
