Hello there, mathematicians!
We are trying to get into the habit of writing our algebraic expressions as simply as possible. So, instead of including multiplication in your answers, let's try to include just the coefficient (number the variable is multiplied by) and variable (the letter).
For example, n + n + n + n is the same as 4 x n or n x 4 or n * 4 or 4 * n
but the very best way to write it is 4n
Try to use this simplified version to show multiplication through today's practice.
