just explain it to me plzz

Consider the function represented by the equation 1/2 j + 1/4 k equals 3 which shows the equation written in function notation with j as the independent variable

One line passes through (-7,-4) and (5,4) . another line passes through the point (-4,6) and (6,-9)

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 =
