Think of A as a constant - with D it's 117 and with M it's 88
So the difference between D and M is 29 (117-88)
We also know that M + D = 161
Let's substitute in the problem We will leave M equal to M and rewrite D as M+29 since it is 29 kg heavier.
M + M + 29 -161 or 2M +29 = 161 Subtracting 29 from both sides we get 2M=122
Now divide both sides two and get M=61
Since D is M+29 it is 61+29 or 100kg
Finally A + M = 88 A + 61 - 88 Subtract 61 from both sides and get A=17
So there you have it:
A=17kg
M=61kg
D=100kg and it works in all three equation in your problem (try it to check)
Its 244 thousanthds and you are welcome
I'm not for sure but it could be 24/529 ???????????
If there are answer choices then put this one. Otherwise I really don't know
