The balanced scale represents the equation: 3x + 1 = x + 3 If one x block is subtracted from the right side and three numbered blocks are subtracted from the left side. What process will

balance the scale?

subtract one x block from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks

from the left side

subtract one x block from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks

from the right side

subtract one x block from the right side and subtract'three numbered

blocks from the left side

subtract one x block from the right side and subtract three numbered

blocks from the right side

1 block is required in the process to balance the scale

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the process that will balance the scale, we need to solve the given expression for x as shown;

3x + 1 = x+ 3

Subtract x from both sides

3x+1-x = x+3 - x

3x - x + 1 = 3

2x + 1 = 3

Subtract 1 from both sides

2x + 1 - 1 = 3 -1

2x = 2

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

Hence 1 block is required in the process to balance the scale

this doesn't make sense lol

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
