Complete the following problem "by hand", using pencil and paper. Start with a general equation, and simplify one step at a time. Or, use the shortcut method shown in class (circling the appropriate values). You must show more than just the answer. Use correct math notation and complete math sentences. The goal is not merely to get the right answer, but to show me that you understand the correct process to arrive at the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
