HRSB, 2008
)73()423( 22 yxyx
Display first polynomial
HRSB, 2008
)73()423( 22 yxyx
Display first polynomial
Add to your display the second
polynomial
HRSB, 2008
)73()423( 22 yxyx
Simplify by combining like terms
HRSB, 2008
)73()423( 22 yxyx
Remove “zeros”
HRSB, 2008
What remains is the answer!

Can we remove the second?
We cannot remove an if is not in the original display…
x
HRSB, 2008
x
)33()424( 22 xxxxWe have to insert into the display
without changing the value . . .
Add in zero . . . (made of a positive and a negative )
x
x
HRSB, 2008

Question 4Question 4
)3()122( yxyyxy
HRSB, 2008
)3()122( yxyyxy
Display first polynomial
Can you remove the second?
HRSB, 2008
)3()122( yxyyxy
We cannot remove -3
Add in -3 and +3 (they make zero and will not change the value)
HRSB, 2008
)3()122( yxyyxyNow we can remove all of
the second polynomial
Your answer is what remains
4 yxy

Question 5Question 5
)47()513( yy
HRSB, 2008
)47()513( yy
Display the first expression
Can you remove the second expression?
HRSB, 2008
)47()513( yy
Yes!
Go ahead and remove the second expression
The answer is what remains!
16 y

Question 6Question 6
)22()35( 22 yxxx
HRSB, 2008
)22()35( 22 yxxx
Display the first expression
Can we remove the second expression?
Not the way it is!
HRSB, 2008
)22()35( 22 yxxx
We need to add in every term from the second expression.Remember to pair these terms with
their opposite so the value of the
expression does not change.
Double Check that you have not changed the value of the original expression . . .
HRSB, 2008
)22()35( 22 yxxx
Now remove the second expression
Your answer is what remains
526 2 yxx

Question 7Question 7
)22()33( 2 yxy
HRSB, 2008
)22()33( 2 yxy
Display the first expression
Can we remove the second?
Not the way it is!
HRSB, 2008
)22()33( 2 yxy
Add in the tiles needed.
Make sure the value of the expression has not changed
HRSB, 2008
)22()33( 2 yxy
Remove the second expression.
What remains is the answer.
52 yx
HRSB, 2008
Question 8Question 8
)12()322( yxyyxy
HRSB, 2008
)12()322( yxyyxy
Display the first expression
Add to your display the terms of the
second expression
Combine like terms
HRSB, 2008
)12()322( yxyyxy
Remove “zeros”
What remains is the answer
24 yxy
HRSB, 2008
Question 9Question 9
)32()233( 222 xyxxy
HRSB, 2008
)32()233( 222 xyxxy
Display first expression
Add the second expression to your
display
HRSB, 2008
)32()233( 222 xyxxy
Combine like terms
Remove any zeros
What remains is the answer
xxy 22 35

Question 10Question 10
)32()2( xyxyxyxy
HRSB, 2008
)32()2( xyxyxyxy
Display first expression
See if all of the terms from the second expression can be
removed
Not the way it is!
HRSB, 2008
)32()2( xyxyxyxy
Insert zeros as needed
HRSB, 2008
)32()2( xyxyxyxy Remove second expression
What remains is the answer!
