Answer:

Put 6 yellow unit tiles on the right side of the equal sign.

Explanation:

Given the equation that Juanita wants to model expressed by the equation

3 x + 2 = -x + 6

If she begins with 3 x tiles and 2 positive 1 tiles = 1 negative x tile, she will b=need to complete her model with put 6 yellow unit tiles on the right side of the equal sign since the only value left at the right hand side of the equation is positive 6

We can as well calculate the value of x from the expression as shown;

3 x + 2 = -x + 6

collect like terms

3x+x = 6-2

4x = 4

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 4/4

x = 1
