X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight
x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x -2x
_________________
34 = 2x -180
+180 + 180
_______________
214 = 2x
107 = x which is Lily's weight
141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248
which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
428 -180 = 248
:
No.
Half of 48 would be 24, not 21
<3
Lets try 96
4 x ?= 96
? = 96/4
= 24
So we see that 4 times 24 is close to 97.
You would use 539 and square it on you cal. just once. Then once you do that the answer is not going to be a whole number it is going to have a decimal, so the answer would be 23.22.
