Q1: 5
well you have to add the left side which is 2+4=6 and then figure
out what would go on the right side by subtracting like 6-1=5 and
that is how i figured it out! so then when you add the two sides you
should come out with the same amount on both sides,like; 4+2=6 and
1+5=6 and they would balance right !
About me: well i like hockey and all sports . i like my dog
poco and joey . and i love my family and like to go to school and

As 4+2=6 in the left side,we have to equal the weights to 6 on the
right side also to balance.There is already 1 inthe right side so,we
have to add 5 to that 1.

2+4=1+5 both sides have to be the same. Since there was only 1 on
the right side you needed 5 more on the right side to equal the number
6 on the left side.

Solution:
Q1: 5
On the left side there is a 2 and a 4. On the right hand side is only
one. 2 + 4 = 6. Therefore you need a 5 to balance it because 5 + 1
= 6.
About me: I'm a good worker. I usually get all hundreds on
my papers at school.

Solution:
Q1: 5
because 2 and 4 = 6 and then you have to find another number on the
othere side to balance the same size on both sides and on the other
side it had 1 and I added 5 so that it could become 6 same as the
other side.
