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

• A negative variable X

What is the purpose of creating zero pairs in solving equations?

• To increase the value of the variable

• To decrease the value of the variable

• To add more complexity to the equation

• To eliminate values and isolate the variable

In the equation X + 5 = 7, what does X equal after solving with algebra tiles?

• 5

• 7

• 2

• 12

How do you solve X - 3 = 8 using algebra tiles?

• By adding three red tiles to both sides

• By creating zero pairs with yellow tiles

• By removing three yellow tiles from both sides

• By adding three yellow tiles to both sides

What is the value of X in the equation X - 3 = 8?

• 11

• 3

• 8

• 5

In the equation 5X = 15, what is the value of one X?

• 15

• 10

• 5

• 3

How is division represented when using algebra tiles?

• By combining tiles together

• By adding more tiles to one side

• By splitting a tile into smaller equal parts

• By creating zero pairs

What does X equal in the equation X divided by 3 = 4?

• 7

• 12

• 3

• 4

What strategy is used to solve the equation X divided by 3 = 4 using algebra tiles?

• Splitting X into three equal parts and comparing to 4

• Multiplying both sides by 3

• Creating zero pairs until X is isolated

• Adding one-third to both sides until X is isolated
