Answer:
1/84
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
-32 = 4b
4b = -32
b = -32 : 4
<u>b </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>8</u>
Let n be a number of balls: n = 14
In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20
Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>
2/9=0.222.....
it is alot closer to zero than any of ther other numbers
