Practice in forming and solving simultaneous equations.
We often talk about equations being 'in balance' and 'doing the same to both sides'. This worksheet makes that visual idea very obvious to pupils as they are presented with a series of balanced seesaws with animals on them. Each pair of seesaws leads to a pair of simultaneous equations, which can then be solved in the usual way, to find the weight of each animal.
Provided with solutions.

Something went wrong, please try again later.
The final question is not solvable. There is a printing error in the first see-saw.
