Question

The hanger image represents a balanced equation (look at picture)

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $27 = b + 9$

$b=18$

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a balanced scale (represented by a hanger in this image), the sum of the values on one side equals the value on the other side. Thus, the equation that this hanger represents is the following:

$27 = b + 9$

Use inverse operations to solve this equation,

$27 = b + 9$

$-9$

$18 = b$
