Making sense of algebra tiles

We know that one black tile equals positive one.

We now agree that one strip equals x. Its value changes depending on the number of units along with it.

Does this work for red tiles also?

Homework: Solve the model below. Due tomorrow.

1 strip and 3 red tile equals 8 red tiles. How much is the strip worth?
