Question

Think About the Process Use the algebra tiles to help you solve the equation 4x - 8 = 20. What is the first step in solving the equation using algebra​ tiles? What is the solution to the​ equation?

Answer 1

The first step would be canceling out the eight getting you 4x = 28 and the solution would be x = 7

Explanation:

To simplify you need to add the eight to itself to cancel it out but you have to do it to the 20 too making it 28. Then you have to divide 28 by 4 getting you 7.
