Answer:

The first choice

Explanation:

You are setting up as you read it. The left side has 5 x and 6 units, so you would set up 5 positive x times and 6 positive unit tiles. On the the right you are setting up 4 positive x tiles and 3 negative unit tiles. It is not asking you to solve with the algebra tiles, just to set it up.
