A student solved the equation 2x+2=10 using algebra tiles. She incorrectly says the solution is 6 . Solve the equation. What mistake might the student have​ made?

she added 2 instead of subtracting it. the answer is x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

10+2=12

12/2=6

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
