Let the weight of triangle be x units. You are given that the weight of square is 1 unit.

1) On the left side of the balanced beam you can see 3 triangles and 5 squares. The weight on left side is 3·x+5·1=3x+5 units.

2) On the right side of the balanced beam you can see 2 triangles and 7 squares. The weight on right side is 2·x+7·1=2x+7 units.

3) If the whole system is balanced, then the weights on left and right sides are equal:

3x+5=2x+7.

Solve this equation:

3x-2x=7-5,

x=2 units.

Answer: option A

The weight of an object is equal to 3\4 of its own weight plus 3\4of a pound. What is the weight?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The weight of the object is 3 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>

Let object weight be x kg.

Now, as per the available data,

3/4 kg + 3/4 (x kg) = x kg

<u>Step 2: </u>

3/4 (1 + x) = x

1 + x = 4x/3

1 = x (4/3 - 1)

x = 1 / (1/3)

x = 3

Weight of Object is 3 kg.

<u>Step 3: </u>

Let's check if this value satisfies the first equation.

3/4 + 3/4 x 3 = 3/4 + 9/4 = 12/4 = 3

Hence proved.
