Please help and hurry please Which could be the first step in solving the equation represented by the model below?

3 x tiles and 4 negative 1 tiles = 2 x tiles and 5 positive 1 tiles
Add 4 positive unit tiles to each side.
Remove 4 unit tiles from each side.
Add 6 positive unit tiles to each side.
Remove 6 unit tiles from each side.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.

it is rigid.; it is isometric. ; the size is preserved.

step-by-step explanation:

a translation is called an isometry; these are transformations that preserve congruence between pre-images and images.

they are also called rigid transformations, as the only thing that can happen to a pre-image is that it is moved or turned, not stretched or shrunk.

since congruence is preserved, the size is preserved.
