Question

A balanced hanger has 4 grapefruits and 2 plums hanging from the left side. The hanger has 3 grapefruit and 5 plums hanging from the right side. If "g" is the weight of a grapefruit and "p" is the weight of a plum, write an equation that represents the balanced hanger.

Answer 1

4g + 2p = 3g + 5p :)

Explanation:

Since the hanger is balanced we can say that the sum of plum and grapefruits on both sides are equal, hope this helps
