Question

Please helppp why is he right or wrong!!

Answer 1

Answer:

We cannot agree with Andre because x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the diagram is a weighing scale which can also be represented as an equation having two sides that is balanced. We can express the situation as follows using equation:

x + 2 = 5

Solve for x

x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2 (subtraction property of equality)

x = 3

If you plug in the value of x on the diagram given, the scale becomes balance on each side.

Therefore, x = 3. Andre is wrong and we cannot agree with Andre.
