Create and solve a linear equation that represents the model, where squares and triangles are shown evenly balanced on a balance beam. assume the weight of a square is 1 unit and the weight of a triangle is unknown.

Let the weight of triangle be x units. You are given that the weight of square is 1 unit.

1) On the left side of the balanced beam you can see 3 triangles and 5 squares. The weight on left side is 3·x+5·1=3x+5 units.

2) On the right side of the balanced beam you can see 2 triangles and 7 squares. The weight on right side is 2·x+7·1=2x+7 units.

3) If the whole system is balanced, then the weights on left and right sides are equal:

3x+5=2x+7.

Solve this equation:

3x-2x=7-5,

x=2 units.

option A

answer:

your answer is: c. 196 7/8 in^3.

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
