Tucker was asked to solve the equation 5x + 3 = 6x + 1. He did not know if his first step should be to add 5 negative x-tiles, or 1 negative unit tile, to both sides. What advice would you give Tucker to help him decide on his first step? Explain.
It does not matter which he does first. Either way, zero pairs will be created on both sides, which will isolate the variable to determine x. Adding the x-tiles and then the unit tile, or visa versa, will give the same solution.
x =
