Transforming One Circle Arrangement to Another by Moving Three Circles Visualization


Background:
I saw this problem on social media and thought I should show my thinking pattern for this problem. The original problem I saw was about coins. Given the left and right arrangements, transform the left arrangement to the right one by moving three coins or, circles.
Assuming the given information was correct the task is to find the largest structure that will stay the same. After we find that it will be one of the possible solutions. The last visualization transformation from one to another can be geometrically shown considering they are spaced at equal intervals.
