Question

Use the algebra tiles to help you solve the equation 2x - 4 + 14 . What is the first step in solving the equation using algebra​ tiles? What is the solution to the​ equation?

Answer 1

`2*2` ← equals 4

`-4` ← equals 0

`+14` ← equals 14

↑ This equation means multiply 2 by itself one time, subtract 4, and add 14. Let's find the value.

Therefore,

the value is 14. Result may vary with x. There are ways to factorize this, but I did not want to confuse you.
