Answer:

x=5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The bar is 9 feet long

so

x+(x-1)=9

Solve for x

2x-1=9

2x=10

x=5\ ft

Verify

40x=50(x-1)

substitute the value of x

40(5)=50(5-1)

40(5)=50(4)

200=200 -----> the weights are perfectly balanced

So...we can write eqn as

40x = 50(x-1)
so. -10x=-50
so. x=5

therefore .... the distance of 40 lb will be 5 ft ...answer !!!
