The equation that represents the algebra tiles is

x - 4 = 9

The value of the equation is 13.

What is algebra tiles?

From the information provided

The red squares on the left are four and have negative sign, which means (- 4)

The vertical rectangle represents variable x and it has positive sign

i.e (+ x)

The vertical line represents (=) sign

The nine yellow squares represents (+9) since it is positive

Let combine the terms to form an equation

-4 + x = +9

Or

x - 4 = 9

This equation can be simplified

x = 9 + 4

x = 13

The value of the equation is 13.
