Alake near the arctic circle is covered by a sheet of ice during the cold winter months. when spring arrives, the ice starts to melt. s(t) models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) as a function of time tt (in weeks). s(t)=-0.25t+4

Follow these steps using the algebra tiles to solve the equation −5x + (−2) = −2x + 4. 1. add 5 positive x-tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 2. add 4 negative unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 3. divide the unit tiles evenly among the x-tiles. x =
