Pan balance problems - equations with shapes

I solve a variety of simple pan balance (scales) problems using just logical reasoning. These "puzzles" prepare students to solve equations in later grades, and it's just fun!

In continuation to the first part of the lesson about pan balance problems, here I tackle some problems with a "double scales". These are more challenging.
