What is the answer to this question? Please give me the short answer and long answer.

Each triangle weighs 3 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the left side, there are 6 squares (12 grams) 3 circles (9 more grams), and 2 triangles (2x grams).

On the right side, there are 3 squares (6 grams) 2 circles (6 grams), and 5 triangles (5x grams).

This makes the equation 21 + 2x = 12 + 5x.

Let's find x.

21 + 2x = 12 + 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides.

21 - 3x = 12

subtract 21 from both sides.

-3x = -9

Divide by -3.

x = 3.

Each triangle weighs 3 grams. Let's prove this.

21 + 2x = 12 + 5x

21 + 2(3) = 12 + 5(3)

21 + 6 = 12 + 15

27 = 27
