Problem 3 (Hanger Diagram for \(2b = 4\))

Step1: Analyze the hanger diagram

The left side has 2 circles labeled \(b\), and the right side has 4 squares labeled 1. The hanger is balanced, so \(2b = 4\).

Step2: Solve for \(b\)

To find \(b\), we divide both sides of the equation \(2b = 4\) by 2.
\(b=\frac{4}{2}\)

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{4}{2}=2\)

Brief Explanations

To have only variables on the left, we remove the non - variable (constant) terms from both sides. The left side has 2 \(b\)s and 2 ones, the right side has 6 ones. We can remove 2 ones from both sides (since the hanger is balanced, removing equal amounts from both sides keeps it balanced).

Step1: Start with the original equation

The original equation from the hanger is \(2b + 2=6\).

Step2: Apply the operation from part (a)

After removing 2 ones from both sides, the left side becomes \(2b\) (since we removed 2 ones from \(2b + 2\)) and the right side becomes \(6 - 2\).
\(6-2 = 4\), so the equation is \(2b=4\)

Answer:

The value of \(b\) is \(2\) because when we divide the total value on the right (4) by the number of \(b\)s on the left (2), we get \(b = 2\).
