Question 813365: 3. Two boys want to use a seesaw and they need to move the seesaw so that their weights will balance out. The formula is given by w1 • d1 = w2 • d2 where w1 = weight of the first boy, d1 = distance of the first boy from the fulcrum, w2 = weight of the second boy, and d2 = distance of the second boy from the fulcrum. Rewrite the formula to solve for d2. Show all steps in your work

Hi,
w1 • d1 = w2 • d2
%28x1%2Ad1%29%2Fw2+=+d2
