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 =

If y varies directly as x2 and y=6 when x=6, find the constant of variation.
