Course: Lumos StepUp - Grade 6 Math
Lesson: Writing Equivalent Expressions
Write an equivalent expression to
-ab + (-ac)
A) -abc
B) (-ab) + c
C) -a(b+c)
D) -ab+c
Standard: 6.EE.A.3
Domain: Expressions & Equations
Theme: Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions
Description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the
distributive property to the expression 3(2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the
distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply
properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
