please help !!! 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.

Well, it's basically just one step. Divide by w2 on both sides, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w1 * d1 /w2=d2?

OpenStudy (gschibby):

exactly! :)

Unless you have any additional information about the problem, that's it ;)
