G8U4Q1. Balancing Equations Review

In this diagram:

• x represents the weight of each triangle.

• 2 is the weight of each circle.

Select an equation that could represent a balanced hanger.

• 6x+4 = 2x+8

• 2x+2 = 4x+2

• 2x+12 = 4x+4

red square = -1

blue heart = z

What would be the equation?

• 2z - 1 = -5

• 2z + 1 = 5

• z - 1 = 5

Hangers A and B are both balanced. In this diagram:

• x represents the weight of each triangle (in pounds).

• 5 is the weight of each square (in pounds).

Write an equation to represent Hanger B.

• 4x+15 = 6x+20

• 6x+15 = 4x+20

• 6x+3 = 4x+4

What do equations and balanced hangers have in common?

• What ever you do to one side, you have to do to the other

• You only have to work on both sides

• Neither has unknown values

• Both sides are no equal to one another.
