How to use algebra tiles

each tile represents something and when you put the tiles side by side you are creating a equation. you can put a tile with it’s coloured side facing up and this would be a positive number witch means you are adding. If you put the tile down with its white side facing up it means that it is a negativE number which means you are subtracting it. then you group the equation for example the x to the power of twos would all go together and all the x would go togeter and the single units. Once you are done that you are going to simplify so create zero pairs. if you make a zero pair then u move those tiles to the side then you are left with your simplified anwser.
