Here is a balanced hangar. A circle has a mass of 3 grams and a square has a mass of 2 grams. Which is the mass of a triangle? 3 grams. 7/5grams 9/6 11 grams​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Circle:      3 grams       Number:  1  right hand side Number LHS: 2

Square:   2 grams        Number:  2 Number LHS: 5

Triangle: x                    Number:  5  Number LHS: 2

Formula

Mass RHS   = Mass LHS

Solution

3*1 + 2*2 + 5x = 3*2 + 5*2 + 2*x        Combine

3 + 2 + 5x = 6 + 10 + 2x

5 + 5x = 16 + 2x                                 Subtract 5 from both sides

5-5+5x = 16-5 + 2x                            Combine

5x = 11 + 2x                                       Subtract 2x from both sides

3x = 11                                               Divide by 3

x = 11/3
