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.
