Answer:
4W + 4 = 6
W = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4W + 4 = 6 See the comments below. Subtract 4 from both sides
4W = 6 - 4 Combine the terms.
4W = 2 Divide by 4. That tells you how much 1 W weighs
W = 2/4 On the right, you get 2/4
W = 1/2 Each w is 1/2
Explanation
- There are 4 red objects. They all weigh the same amount. So that means that you have 4 W on one part of the scale.
- On the same side (the left side) there are 4 green weights. They all weigh one.
- 4*1 = 4
- So the left side has 4W + 4
- The right side his 6 one pound weights. 6 * 1 = 6
- The equation is 4w + 4 = 6
