Question

what expression does this set of algebra tiles represent? combine like terms. for example, write 3 instead of 1 + 1 + 1.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the tiles

We have one \(x^2\) tile and one \(-x\) tile.

Step2: Combine the terms

Since \(x^2\) and \(-x\) are not like terms (different degrees), we just write them together as \(x^2 - x\).

Answer:

\(x^2 - x\)
