Question

what equation does the hanger show now?
$x = 3$ $x = 7$
$x + 3 = 4$ $x + 3 = 7$
(there is a hanger image with an orange circle labeled x and three gray blocks labeled 1 each, and at the bottom right: $x = 4$ + 3 + 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the left - hand side

The left - hand side of the hanger has \(x\) and three \(1\)s. So the total on the left - hand side is \(x + 1+1 + 1=x + 3\).

Step2: Analyze the right - hand side

The right - hand side of the hanger is \(7\) (since \(x = 4\) and then \(4+3=7\)).

Answer:

\(x + 3=7\)
