Need to draw an area model to multiply 3x31

Miranda is braiding her hair. then she will attach beads to the braid. she wants 1_3 of the beads to be red. if the greatest number of beads that will fit on the braid is 12,what other fractions could represent the part of the beads that are red?

If f(x) = x+8 and g(x) = 4x- 3, find (f+g)(x)

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.
