Answer:

x = 1

Each green rectangle has a value of 1.

Explanation:

Left Side:

On the left side there are 7 green rectangle worth x each.

The total value of the green rectangles on the left is 7x.

Then there are 9 small yellow squares worth 1 each.

The total value of the small yellow squares at left is 9.

The total value of the left side is

7x + 9

Right Side:

On the right side there are 2 green rectangle worth x each.

The total value of the green rectangles on the right is 2x.

Then there are 14 small yellow squares worth 1 each.

The total value of the small yellow squares at right is 14.

The total value of the right side is

2x + 14

The equal sign shows that the value of the left side equals the value of the right side.

7x + 9 = 2x + 14

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5x + 9 = 14

Subtract 9 from both sides.

5x = 5

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 1

Each green rectangle has a value of 1.
