Hey there! This is gonna actually be surprisingly simple even though it looks confusing!
Since the scale is perfectly balanced (it's completely flat because the weights are equal) you can use an = sign.
There are 3 cubes which weigh 9 ounces so 3 times 9 is 27 so on the left side you can put down a 27. Then there are 7 circles so so 7x can represent this. So that belongs on the left side as well SO for the left sides we can write this
27 + 7x = _______
Now for the right side. There are 5 cubes so 5 times 9 ounces is 45 so that belongs on the left. And then there is one cube so we can just right x. SO for the right side (combined with the other parts we know looks like this.
27 + 7x = 45 + x
NOW for the solving!
<span>27 + 7x = 45 + x
</span>subtract x from both sides
27 + 6x = 45
subtract 27 from both sides
6x = 18
then divide 6 from both sides
x = 3
So the circles are 3 ounces!!!!
I hope that helps! And feel free to ask me any questions!!

Answer:
Im sorry, im not in high school yet :(
Step-by-step explanation:
:( wish i could help :(
Find the values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero for y=3x+5/x-6.
x = −5
x = 6
<h2>x = −6</h2>
therefore the answer is
<h2>x = −6</h2>

Answer:
37.5% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a relative percentage you generally follow the rule of part divided by whole.
$100 / $160 = .625 (62.5%)
So $100 is 62.5% of $160
To find the decrease we need to subtract 62.5% from 100%
100 - 62.5 = 37.5
