You know 4 + 4 + 4 = 3(4), but what about x + x + x? Pairs work together to develop equivalent expressions relating multiplication and addition in the third lesson of a 36-part series. They extend their knowledge of multiplication as repeated addition to variables in order to create identities like x + x + x = 3x.
