How to do this , and can some one explain

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.

Acar started driving from city a to city b, distance between which is 620 miles, at a rate of 60 mph. two hours later a truck left city b and started moving towards city a at a rate of 40 mph. how many hours after the truck's departure will the two meet?
