Question

Which finds the solution to the equation represented by the model below?

F
O removing 1 x-tile from each side
O removing 3 unit tiles from the right side
O adding 3 positive unit tiles to each side
O arranging the tiles into equal groups to match the number of x-tiles

Answer 1

Answer: A. removing 1 x-tile from each side

Step-by-step explanation: To solve the equation represented by the model, we need to remove 3 unit tiles from the right side, since each unit tile represents a value of 1. Then, we need to arrange the tiles into equal groups to match the number of x-tiles. We can see that there are 2 x-tiles and 2 unit tiles on the left side, which means that each x-tile represents a value of 1.

Therefore, the solution is x = 1. Answer choice A.
