1. The problem asks which equation matches the algebra tile diagram.
2. The diagram represents the product of two binomials: one with terms $-x$ and $3$, and the other with terms $2x$ and $-1$.
3. We will expand the expression $(-x + 3)(2x - 1)$ using the distributive property (FOIL method):
$$(-x + 3)(2x - 1) = (-x)(2x) + (-x)(-1) + 3(2x) + 3(-1)$$
4. Calculate each term:
$$(-x)(2x) = -2x^2$$
$$(-x)(-1) = +x$$
$$3(2x) = 6x$$
$$3(-1) = -3$$
5. Combine like terms:
$$-2x^2 + x + 6x - 3 = -2x^2 + 7x - 3$$
6. Therefore, the expanded form is:
$$(-x + 3)(2x - 1) = -2x^2 + 7x - 3$$
7. Comparing with the options, the correct equation is:
$$(-x + 3)(2x - 1) = -2x^2 + 7x - 3$$
8. The other options do not match this expansion.
Final answer: $$(-x + 3)(2x - 1) = -2x^2 + 7x - 3$$
