Express the figurative language below in an algebraic expression. Two times those

  1. 2(those)

  2. 2 those

  3. 2 x those

  4. 2 × those

The correct answer is: 2(those)

Figurative language in algebraic expressions is often represented by replacing the words with their corresponding mathematical symbols, operations, and variables. In this example, the word "times" suggests multiplication, and "two" represents the number 2. Therefore, the expression would be "2(those)", where "those" is either a number or a variable. This expression illustrates that "two times those" is equivalent to "2 multiplied by those", making option A the correct answer. Other options such as B, C, and D do not accurately represent the multiplication of "two" and "those", making them incorrect.
