Answer:

Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be expressed as;

Weight on earth=Constant×Weight on moon

where;

Weight on moon=14.2 kilograms

Constant=k

Weight on Earth=85 kilograms

Replacing in the expression above;

85=14.2×k

k=(85/14.2)=5.986

If the person weighs 95 kilograms on Earth;

Weight on the earth=Constant×Weight on moon

where;

Weight on the moon=x

Constant=5.986

Weight on the earth=95 kilograms

Replacing;

95=5.986×x

x=95/5.986=15.87

Weight on the moon=x=15.87 kilograms

Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12
