Answer:

  1a: x+3 = 5

  1c: 6 = 2z

  2b: x = 2

  2d: 3 = z

  3: the solutions make the hangars balance

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can write the equations by listing the contents of the hangar and using an equal sign to show the balance between left side and right side. It can work well to put left side contents of the hangar on the left side of the equal sign.

  A: x + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = z + z  simplifies to  6 = 2z

__

2. B: We can subtract 3 from both sides of the hangar (and equation) to find the value of x.

  (x +3) -3 = 5 -3

  x = 2 . . . . . hangar balances with 2 on the right

D: We can divide both sides of the hangar by 2, splitting the content into two equal parts. Then one of those parts can be removed from each side.

  2(3) = 2(z)

  3 = z . . . . . . hangar balances with 3 on the left

__

3. The found values will keep the hangar in balance when they are substituted for the corresponding variables.

  A: 2 + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 + 3
