The total weight of the shape blocks on both sides of Michael's pan balance equals 30 grams. Circles weigh 5 grams, squares weigh 10 grams, and triangles weigh 3 grams. The right side has a circle and a square. How many triangles are on the left side?

There would be 5 triangles on the other side

Step-by-step explanation:

If the right side has 1 circle and 1 square, that would mean that there is 5g+10g=15g weight on the right side

In total, there is 30g, and we already have 15

We can use the equation 15+3x=30, and by solving, the answer would be 5 triangles.

Hope this helps!

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
