AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a balance scale model for solving addition and multiplication equations. The scale has a sturdy base made of stacked rectangles, two vertical stands, a horizontal beam, and two trays on each side. Each side has circular pivot points and the trays hold round objects. Include a text input box and an answer box nearby. The composition is symmetrical, emphasizing the balance concept for math education.
