  2. The value of the green rectangle will balance the scale. What could replace the green rectangle to balance the scale? =

  3. Recall that you can do several things to both sides of a scale and keep it balanced. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  4. We found the value of the green rectangle by removing 3 yellow squares from each side. Can you think of another way you could get the green rectangle by itself? Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  5. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  6. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  7. Check our work. =

  8. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  9. Can you use yellow squares and red rectangles to solve for the value of the green rectangle? Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  10. Check your answer =

  11. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  12. Can you think of another way to solve for the value of the green rectangle? Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. Check your value by replacing the green rectangle with its equivalence. =

  13. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. = =

  14. Can you think of another way to find the value of the green rectangle? Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. Check your answer for the value of the green rectangle. = =

  15. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =

  16. Try to isolate the green rectangle by itself on one side to find the value of the green rectangle. Keep the scale balanced. Give the value for x and explain how you determined the answer. =
