Answer 1

Answer is D) take 5 blocks away from the left side.

There are 8 blocks on the left and only 3 on the right, 8 - 3 = 5

Answer 2

Since there are 8 block on the left side and 3 on the right side, they have to have the same amount to be equal.

A) 8 = 3 + 3 → 8 = 6? No, this isn't right

B) 8 = 4 + 3 → 8 = 7? Nope

C) 8 - 3 = 3 → 5 = 3? No

D) 8 - 5 = 5 → 3 = 3? Yes, so to balance the two sides you would need to take 5 blocks from the left side (or add 5 to the right side but that isn't a choice)
