Answer 1

Answer:

5b+1c=3b+5c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the variable c for the circles and b for the boxes.

The weights are the same on both sides, so count the boxes and circles on each side.

There are 5 boxes and 1 circle on the left side. The left side of the equation says 5b+1c.

There are 3 boxes and 5 circles on the right side. The right side of the equation says 3b+5c.

And since the 2 sides are equal, you split the 2 sides of the equation with =.

5b+1c=3b+5c
