What is the value for x when using algebra tiles to solve the equation x+1=-x+(-5)?

The value of x is -3

Step-by-step explanation: We want to solve the equation x+1=-x+(-5)

the first thing we want to do is isolate x, for doing this we may add x in both sides of the eqution, to remove the x therm in the right side:

x+1 +x =-x+(-5) + x

2x + 1 = - 5

now we can subtract 1 in both sides, to remove the 1 in the left side.

2x + 1 - 1 = -5 - 1  

2x = - 6

now we can divide both sides by 2, with the objective of remove the factor 2 in the left side

2x/2 = -6/2

x = -3

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
