Question

what equation is represented in this hanger diagram? 14 = 2x - 6 14 = 2x - 3 14 = 2x + 6 14 = 2x + 3

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze hanger balance

Left side: total weight = 14
Right side: 2 unknown weights ($x$) + 2 sets of 3 unit weights, so total right weight = $2x + 2\times3 = 2x + 6$

Step2: Set balance equation

Since both sides are equal:
$14 = 2x + 6$

Answer:

$14 = 2x + 6$
