To solve these balancing equations, we need to make sure the total on the left side of the equals sign is the same as the total on the right side.
Here is the step-by-step solution for each row:
1.
$3 + 5 = \square + 2$
* Left side: $3 + 5 = 8$
* Right side needs to equal 8. So, $\square + 2 = 8$.
* Missing number: $8 - 2 = 6$
2.
$2 + 7 = 5 + \square$
* Left side: $2 + 7 = 9$
* Right side needs to equal 9. So, $5 + \square = 9$.
* Missing number: $9 - 5 = 4$
3.
$4 + 2 = \square + 1$
* Left side: $4 + 2 = 6$
* Right side needs to equal 6. So, $\square + 1 = 6$.
* Missing number: $6 - 1 = 5$
4.
$2 + 3 = 4 + \square$
* Left side: $2 + 3 = 5$
* Right side needs to equal 5. So, $4 + \square = 5$.
* Missing number: $5 - 4 = 1$
5.
$3 + 6 = 1 + \square$
* Left side: $3 + 6 = 9$
* Right side needs to equal 9. So, $1 + \square = 9$.
* Missing number: $9 - 1 = 8$
6.
$1 + 7 = 3 + \square$
* Left side: $1 + 7 = 8$
* Right side needs to equal 8. So, $3 + \square = 8$.
* Missing number: $8 - 3 = 5$
7.
$6 + 0 = \square + 3$
* Left side: $6 + 0 = 6$
* Right side needs to equal 6. So, $\square + 3 = 6$.
* Missing number: $6 - 3 = 3$
8.
$5 + 4 = 3 + \square$
* Left side: $5 + 4 = 9$
* Right side needs to equal 9. So, $3 + \square = 9$.
* Missing number: $9 - 3 = 6$
9.
$4 + 1 = 5 + \square$
* Left side: $4 + 1 = 5$
* Right side needs to equal 5. So, $5 + \square = 5$.
* Missing number: $5 - 5 = 0$
10.
$2 + 1 = \square + 3$
* Left side: $2 + 1 = 3$
* Right side needs to equal 3. So, $\square + 3 = 3$.
* Missing number: $3 - 3 = 0$
Final Answer:
The missing numbers from top to bottom are:
6, 4, 5, 1, 8, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0
