Check the picture below.
let's recall that a straight-line has 180°, and that sum of all interior angles in a triangle is also 180°.
Assuming the weights are in kilograms, what is the mystery weight of y? use the equation you created in part a to find the solut
1 answer:
The equation which we have created showing relationship between weights of both sides has a solution of y=1/2.
Given weight on one end is y+y+y+1+1+1 and weight on other end is y +y+ y+ y+2 where y is mystery weight.
We have to first form an equation.
If we see the figure we can notice that both sides are equal to other, it means the weight of both ends are equal to each other.
Equation is relationship between two or more variables expressed in equal to form. It is solved to find the value of variables. Equation of two variables look like ax+ by=c.
y+y+1+1+1=y+y+y+y+2
2y+3=4y+2
2y-4y=2-3
-2y=-1
y=1/2
Hence the solution of the equation a showing relationship between weights on both ends is y=1/2.
