Solving Systems with Algebra Tiles

 

 

6. Use your result to substitute the correct number of unit tiles for y in the original version of the first equation. Since the equation calls for 2y, you will need to double the tiles that represent y. Sketch your result.

 

7. Describe how you would solve the equation or x. What is the result?
