What is the first step in solving '2x - 1 = -x + 8' using algebra tiles?

• Subtract 1 from both sides

• Add 1x to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Multiply both sides by 2

What is the significance of adding 1x to both sides in the equation '2x - 1 = -x + 8'?

• It complicates the equation further

• It simplifies the equation to '3x - 1 = 8'

• It has no effect on the equation

• It eliminates all x variables from the equation

After simplifying '3x - 1 = 8', what is the next step to find the value of x?

• Subtract 1 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

• Add 1 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3
