Let us say that:
x = weight of llamas
y = weight of okapi
From the problem, we can create the equations:
x + y = 450 -->
1
3 x = y + 190 -->
2
Rewriting equation 1:
x = 450 – y
From equation 2:
3 (450 – y) = y + 190
1350 – 3 y = y + 190
4 y = 1160
y = 290
From equation 1:
x = 450 – 290
x = 160
Therefore a llama weighs 160 kilograms while okapi weigh
290 kilograms on average.
We will want to get p by itself
h-t=h+px
We will first subtract h from the right and left
-t = px
We will then divide by x on both sides
-t/x = p
