Question

Write an equation for the hanger diagram and then us the sketch to show how to solve the equation algebraically.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 w's and a 1 on one side and 7 1's on the other and the hanger diagram shows they are even, we can set them equal to each other.

3w + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides

3w = 6 Divide 3 from both sides

w = 2
