Help me answer question 2 ​

x times x times x

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3y and are asked to express it equivalently with the answers provided.

I will go over the flaws of each answer and single it down to the correct one.

x * x * x would equal x^3, since this is being multiplied.

x^3 is equal to x * x * x, therefore it is not correct.

x + 3 is not correct because you cannot add numbers or variables that are not like terms, so it would not equal to 3y.

x + x + x would equal to 3y because they are all like terms and do not form exponents.
