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 =

Acable company claims that the average household pays $78 a month for a basic cable plan, but it could differ by as much as $20. write an absolute value inequality to determine the range of basic cable plan costs with this cable company. a. |x − 78| ≥ 20 b. |x − 20| ≥ 78 c. |x − 20| ≤ 78 d. |x − 78| ≤ 20
