To find the mystery mass, we remove the same number of 1-kilogram masses from both sides, keeping the scale balanced. Then, we can easily determine the mystery mass's weight.

By keeping the scale balanced and taking equal portions from both sides, we can determine the mass of the mystery object. This helps us understand the concept of equality in real-life situations.
