Solving One-Step Equations with Algebra Tiles

What is the primary goal when solving one-step equations?

• To perform different operations on each side of the equation

• To get the variable on one side by itself

• To use as many algebra tiles as needed

• To create as many zero pairs as possible

What does a green bar represent in the context of algebra tiles?

• A positive variable X

• A positive one

• A negative one
