AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a scale with two sides representing equation expressions, each side having regions with varying shapes and weights to symbolize different values in the equation. Include a text box in the middle showing the solution to the equation, and buttons on either side to add or remove weights, visually demonstrating the process of solving one-step equations.
