You have 2 apples, get 3 more, and then lose 2 of them.
So, you HAVE 2 apples, and if you get 3 more, you can add it to the 2.

In total at the moment, you have 5 apples. Now, you lose 2 more. We can subtract that from our total number of apples.

We now know that you are left with
3 apples.
If x represents the mass of 1 ball in kg, then the balance shows ...
... 6x = x + 9 kg
... 5x = 9 kg
Then 6x is ...
... (6/5)·5x = (6/5)·9 kg = 10.8 kg
0.8 kg = 0.8·1000 g = 800 g
so 10.8 kg is ...
... D. 10 kg 800 g
Answer:
u = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can use inverse operations to help.
27 + 9u = 36
Next, we can start replacing u with numbers to find which number fits in u.
27 + 9(1) = 36
27 + 9(2) ≠ 36
27 + 9(3) ≠ 36
Now, we know that u = 1
