Calculate the distance between A and B

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 =

In 2009, there were 1570 bears in a wildlife refuge. in 2010, the population had increased to approximately 1884 bears. if this trend continues and the bear population is increasing exponentially, how many bears will there be in 2018?
