Its D because lets just say 1 ball steel is 10 grams so it be 80 grams total 14 -8 gives you 6 and they are 60 grams total.when you add the 60 and 20 grams you get 80 so its D

Answer:

D)8x=6x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the pans to balance each other they must have both equal weight on them, this can be described in an equation like this:

Weight on side A=Weight on side B

It is described for us the weight on each side:

-The weight on side A will be the weight of 1 ball eight times( because we have 8 balls of the same weight). Lets say the weight of one ball is x so it will be like this:

Weight on side A=8x

-The weight on side B will be the weight of 1 ball 6 times (becasue we have 6 balls of the same weight) plus 20 grams that we added to balance the pans and make them equal so it will be like this:

Weight on side B=6x+20

Now replacing on the first eqation we would have:

8x=6x+20
