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 tiles

There are 5 tiles with \( x \) (representing \( 5x \)) and 1 tile with 1 (representing \( 1 \)).

Step2: Combine like terms

The terms are \( 5x \) and \( 1 \), so the expression is \( 5x + 1 \).

Answer:

\( 5x + 1 \)
