Answer: if the blue rectangles are x, then x = 1/2

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

the green shapes each = 1

so you have 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 which is true so

x = 1/2

Answer:

B.
x=(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Let x represent each blue rectangle and 1 represent each green figure.

We can see that there are 2 blue rectangles that would be
x+x.

We can also see that there are 2 green figures on left side and 3 figures on right side of equation, we can represent this information in an equation as:


x+x+1+1=1+1+1

Combine like terms:


2x+2=3

Subtract 2 from both sides:


2x+2-2=3-2


2x=1

Divide both sides by 2:


(2x)/(2)=(1)/(2)


x=(1)/(2)

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
