The actual weight of the mobile in grams is 194 grams.
What is Equation?
In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.
As broken scale shows a false weight that is always higher than the actual weight by the same number of grams.
When a mobile phone is put on the scale, the real weight will be 'x'
but it shows,
x+a= 202
When an headphone is put on the scale, the real weight will be 'y'
but it shows,
y+a=221
When the mobile phone and the headphone are put on the scale together, the weight is
x+y+a= 415
So,
x+221=415 [Since y+a= 221 grams]
x= 194 grams
The actual weight of the mobile phone in grams is 194 grams.
