Question

How do i do this? im having trouble

Answer 1

Both sides will have the same answer. Which is 20, just half the 40.

Right side:
20 divided by 4, will give you 5.
This is the worth of the pink one.

Left side:
20 - 5, is 15.
15 divided by 5 (because of the number of orange in that side) = 3

Answer:
Pink = 5
Orange = 3

Answer 2

Im going to call it a hanger because thats what my teacher called it.

Step-by-step explanation:
So both sides of the hangar are equal.
Your goal is to find what each shape is worth.
And the number at the top shows what both sides combined equals.
Since both sides have to be equal you would divide 40 by 2 to represent both sides of the hangar.
So with that both sides equal 20, start on the right because its all one shape.
All four of those triangles combine to equal 20 so you would divide 20 by 4 to get how much each individual shape is worth which would be 5 each purple triangle equals 5.
Knowing this, on the left side you would subtract 5 to represent the triangle which would be 20-5 which equals 15.
You have 5 orange hearts/circles ( i cant see what they are so im going to say circles) so again you would divide 15 by 5 to get each individual shapes value. Leaving you with 3.

Answer:
Purple triangle: 5
Orange circle: 3

Hope this helps and sorry if it was messy!
