Answer:
A) 29/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the blocks. As you can see there are 5 x blocks on the left, and 9 -1 blocks on the left. On the right there are 3 -x blocks and 20 1 blocks. With this, form the equation.
5x - 9 = -3x + 20
Add 3x to both sides.
8x - 9 = 20
Add 9 to both sides.
8x = 29
Divide both sides by 28 to get:
x = 29/8.
