Answer 2

Answer:

J. x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation based on the image of the scales.

3x + 6 = 9

Subtract 6.

3x = 3

Divide by 3.

x = 1

If you haven't learned to solve equations yet, the same thought process can be used with the scale image. The scales are balanced. To keep them balanced, remove 6 of the pieces marked "1" from BOTH sides of the scale. Then the scale will have three x's on one side and three "1"'s on the other side. So each x has to be one "1".
