How do you solve equations with a variable on both sides x-2= -3x+2 i need to use algebra tiles to model and solve

To solve equations with variables on both sides, you must make the alike variables on one side, and the numbers on the other side. You do this by adding, subtracting multiplying, and dividing. Here are the steps to solve your problem:

x - 2 = -3x + 2   -- Add 2 to both sides

x = -3x + 4        -- Add 3x to both sides

4x = 4               -- Divide by 4

x = 1

Your answer is x = 1

 Second option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total area a farmer has as an orchard = 40 acres

Total area in which he grows apples = 25 acres

Total area on which he grows peaches = 7 acres

Total area on which he grows nectarines = 5 acres

Total area on which he grows plums = 3 acres

According to question, the fruit trees are equally distributed within the orchard,

So,

P( the tree is within the acres of apple trees) is given by

But we have to calculate the Probability that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees,

So, P( the tree is not within the acres of apple trees) is given by

Hence, Second option is correct.
