标题: Balance scale question

An old tea merchant in New York's Chinatown was trying to figure out how to divide 20 pounds of tea into 2-pound packets using a simple balance scale. But this merchant could only find two weights around the shop - one was 5 pounds and the other was 9 pounds.

Can you figure out how he did it?

A minor change make it easy to understand:

1=5+5-9

1+1=2

2=2
