The force (F) needed to cause the acceleration (a) of an object of mass, m, is given by the equation, F=ma where m is the object’s mass. If a 12-Newton force causes the object to accelerate to 3 m/s2, what is that object’s mass? The unit for this mass is kg.

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.
