Outcomes

A.SSE.1.b

Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity.

A.SSE.2

Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, to factor 3x(x − 5) + 2(x − 5), students should recognize that the "x − 5" is common to both expressions being added, so it simplifies to (3x + 2)(x − 5); or see x^4 − y^4 as (x2)^2 − (y2)^2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^2 − y^2)(x^2 + y^2).
