Heather, Devin, and Celine went to a craft store to buy special beads to make friendship bracelets. Each friend plans to put s star-shaped beads on their bracelet. Pick all of the expressions that represent how many star-shaped beads the friends should buy. Multi-select Choices: (A)s + s + s (B)s^3 (C)3s (D)s + 3

Combine Like Terms: Each friend plans to use s star-shaped beads for their bracelet. To find the total beads for all three friends, we add the beads each friend will use: s + s + s. Check Multi-Select Choices: Simplifying the expression from the previous step, we combine like terms: s + s + s = 3s. This represents the total number of beads for three friends, each using s beads. Now, let's check the multi-select choices against our simplified expression, 3s: (A) s + s + s matches our initial expression before simplification. (C) 3s directly matches our simplified expression. Choices (B) s^3 and (D) s + 3 do not represent the correct total, as they mathematically do not equate to 3s.

Pick all of the expressions that represent how many star-shaped beads the friends should buy.

\newline

Multi-select Choices:

\newline

(A)

s + s + s

\newline

(B)

s^3

\newline

(C)

3s

\newline

(D)

s + 3

Combine Like Terms: Each friend plans to use $s$ star-shaped beads for their bracelet. To find the total beads for all three friends, we add the beads each friend will use: $s + s + s$ .
Check Multi-Select Choices: Simplifying the expression from the previous step, we combine like terms: $s + s + s = 3s$ . This represents the total number of beads for three friends, each using $s$ beads.
