Worksheet time: 1hrs 3mins
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
z2 -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
The scale is balanced. Find the weight of one triangle, if each circle weighs 4 pounds.
*Just type in the number*
(a)
3(x - 1) = 2x + 9
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.
