Q. Heather, Devin, and Celine went to a craft store to buy special beads to make friendship bracelets. Each friend plans to put ss star-shaped beads on their bracelet.\newlinePick all of the expressions that represent how many star-shaped beads the friends should buy.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) s+s+ss + s + s\newline(B) s3s^3\newline(C) 3s3s\newline(D) s+3s + 3
  1. Combine Like Terms: Each friend plans to use ss 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+ss + s + s.
  2. Check Multi-Select Choices: Simplifying the expression from the previous step, we combine like terms: s+s+s=3ss + s + s = 3s. This represents the total number of beads for three friends, each using ss beads.
  3. Check Multi-Select Choices: Simplifying the expression from the previous step, we combine like terms: s+s+s=3ss + s + s = 3s. This represents the total number of beads for three friends, each using ss beads. Now, let's check the multi-select choices against our simplified expression, 3s3s:\newline(A) s+s+ss + s + s matches our initial expression before simplification.\newline(C) 3s3s directly matches our simplified expression.\newlineChoices (B) s3s^3 and (D) s+3s + 3 do not represent the correct total, as they mathematically do not equate to 3s3s.
