Model and solve equations using algebra tiles

Learn with an example

🔔 Which set of algebra tiles represents the equation 3x = 9 ?

The equation is 3x=9.

The other sets of algebra tiles represent different equations.

This set represents 3x=15 :

This set represents 3x=12 :

This set represents 3x = 3 :

🔔 Which set of algebra tiles represents the equation 3x = 9 ?

The equation is 3x=9.

This is the correct set of algebra tiles. It represents the equation 3x=9.

The other sets of algebra tiles represent different equations.
This set represents 3x = 3 :

This set represents 2x = 2 :

This set represents 2x = 8:

🔔 Which equation does this set of algebra tiles represent?

  • x + 1 = 5
  • x + 7 = 2
  • x + 1 = 2
  • x + 7 = 5

Look at the tiles on the left side of the set.

Now look at the tiles on the right side of the set.

This set of algebra tiles represents the equation

x+1 = 5.
