Kirsty goes to the shops every week to buy some potatoes. She always buys the same total weight. One week she buys 2 large bags and 1 small bag. The following week she buys 1 large bag and 3 small bags.

If a small bags weighs 4 kgs. How much does a large bag weigh?

What instrument measures balance

How can we go about solving this using balance ?
