Example Question #10 : Identify Equivalent Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.A.4

Which expression equals \displaystyle 1x?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle x-x

\displaystyle x

\displaystyle 10x

\displaystyle x^2

\displaystyle x+x

Correct answer:

\displaystyle x

Explanation:

\displaystyle 1x is equal to \displaystyle x because both expressions will name the same number, no matter which number \displaystyle x stands for. 

Let's do a couple of samples!

Solve for \displaystyle x=2

\displaystyle 1(2)=2 and \displaystyle 2=2

Solve for \displaystyle x=5

\displaystyle 1(5)=5 and \displaystyle 5=5

As you can see, both expressions equaled the same value. 

\displaystyle 1x=x
