Rosie, this is the solution to the problem, according to the information provided:

Triangles = 1.5 grams

Circles = 2 grams

Squares = x grams

Left string: 4x + 1.5 * 2 + 2 * 2

4x + 3 + 4

4x + 7

Right string: 2x + 1.5 + 3 * 2

2x + 1.5 + 6

2x + 7.5

Rosie, I think we can express this situation rather as an inequality than a equation. Thus:

4x + 7 > 2x + 7.5
