Question

Bills sleight is 48 kilograms. This is 10 more than one half of his father weight. What is his dads weight? Explain the steps

Answer 1

Let the equation be 1/2x=48-10
where x is the dad's weight
1/2x=48-10
1/2x=38
x=76 ( i divided both sides by 1/2)

Answer 2

$x-\ dad's\ weight\\\\ 48-10=\frac{1}{2}x\\\\ 38=\frac{1}{2}x\ \ \ \ | multiply\ by\ 2\\\\ 76=x\\\\ Dad's\ weight\ is\ 76\ kilorams.$
