Can you please explian how this would be right I'm not understanding at all

Look at the scale. On the right there are 3 less squares. But there are more marbles! So, if you subtract three marbles (the ones that would make it equal to the left) and divide the marbles by 3 squares, you get 2!

Answer:each box should weigh as much as 2 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first side of the scale theres a 5 next to the box and im assuming that means that there are 5 boxes on the first side of the scale. 5 boxes that each weigh 2 marbles + the 3 marbles that are already there = 13 marbles total

On the second side of the scale there are 9 marbles and 2 boxes. 2 boxes that each weigh 2 marbles + 9 marbles that are already there = 13 marbles total

So the scale will be balanced because there is 13 on each side
