Steve weighs 18 more pounds than Ryan. If their weight totals 144 pounds, how much does Ryan weigh?
2 answers:
Answer:
A) Steve = Ryan +18
B) Steve + Ryan = 144
A) Steve -Ryan = 18 then adding B
B) Steve + Ryan = 162
2 Steve = 162
Steve weighs 81 pounds
Ryan weighs (81 -18) pounds 63 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
X = Ryan’s weight
X + 18 = Steve’s weight
144 = total weight for both
X + X + 18 = 144 ( equation)
2X = 144 -18 (group your equation)
2X/2 = 126/2 (divide both sides by 2)
X = 63 ( Ryan’s age)
X + 18 = 81 ( Steve’s age)
