Question

Please help me and show work please

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale is in equilibrium, both sides must be equal. Therefore, we have the following equation:

$[\text{Left Side} ]3x+3=[\text{Right Side}]9$

Solving for $x$:

$3x+3=9,\\3x=6,\\x=\boxed{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:x=2

Step-by-step explanation: try to first set up an equation. First we can see the scale is balanced so we know each side is equal to each other. You have 3 x boxes and 3 circles so our first side will be 3x+3. Now let’s move onto the second side. It has 9 circles so 3x+3=9. Now let’s solve!

Subtract 3

3x=6

Now divide by 3

X=2
