  1. Tyler drew a diagram to expand ( x + 5 ) ( 2 x + 3 ) .

Rectangle partitioned into 4 smaller rectangles. The top is labeled 2 x and 3. The side is labeled x and 5. Inside, the top row contains 2 x squared and 3 x. The bottom row contains 7 x and 8.

    1. Tyler’s diagram is incorrect. Choose the sentence that describes Tyler’s mistake.
  1. Tyler should have labeled the top x and 3 and the side 2 x and 5.
  2. Tyler should have labeled the top 2 x and 5 and the side x and 3.
  3. Tyler multiplied 5 and 2 and 5 and 3 instead of adding them.
  4. Tyler added 5 and 2 and 5 and 3 instead of multiplying them.
    1. What is the correct expanded form of ( x + 5 ) ( 2 x + 3 ) ?
  1. 2 x 2 + 13 x + 15
  2. 2 x 2 + 10 x + 8
  3. 30 x 2
  4. 3 x + 8
