Arectangular bird feeder costs $18.00. a cylindrical bird feeder costs $24.00. the expected cost to keep the rectangular bird feeder filled is $3.00 per week. the expected cost the keep the cylindrical bird feeder filled is $2.00 per week. the equation below models the break-even point. 18 + 3x = 24 + 2x what does x represent?

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.
