The four yellow tiles in the model of the equation represent 4x.
In the given equation, we have 3 long x tiles and 4 square 1 tiles on the left side of the equation. These represent 3x and 4 respectively.
On the right side of the equation, we have 2 negative 2 tiles. These represent -2 and are shown as negative tiles in the model.
The yellow tiles specifically represent the term 4x, which means we have 4 instances of x.
So, in this equation, the four yellow tiles represent the term 4x, which means we have 4 instances of x.
