Practice Rewriting Expressions in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Transforming an algebraic expression into a different but mathematically equivalent form to reveal new information.
2(x + 3) and 2x + 6 look different but are the same—rewriting shows this.
Example 1
easyRewrite x^2 - 25 in factored form.
Example 2
mediumRewrite \frac{x^2 - 4}{x - 2} in simplified form.
Example 3
easyRewrite 3(x + 4) in expanded form.
Example 4
mediumRewrite 4x + 12 in factored form.
