Solving Equations

Description

This example effectively demonstrates solving a two-step equation using algebra tiles, where the visual model helps students understand how to manipulate the equation. The image shows algebra tiles used to solve the equation 2x - (-2) = -4. The tiles are manipulated to find the solution x = -3. In this example, the process involves modeling tiles on both sides of the equals sign, converting subtraction of a negative into addition, and creating zero pairs to isolate the variable.

Solving Equations

Description

This example effectively demonstrates solving a two-step equation using algebra tiles, where the visual model helps students understand how to manipulate the equation. The image shows algebra tiles used to solve the equation -x + 1 = 4. The tiles are manipulated to find the solution x = -3. In this example, the process involves modeling tiles on both sides of the equals sign, creating zero pairs, and replacing each side with corresponding opposite tiles.

Solving Equations

Description

This example effectively demonstrates solving a two-step equation using algebra tiles, where the visual model helps students understand how to manipulate the equation. The image shows a visual representation of solving the equation -2x + 1 = 5 using algebra tiles. The tiles are arranged to show steps: modeling both sides, creating zero pairs, and replacing with opposite tiles to solve for x = -2. This process illustrates the importance of maintaining balance in equations.
