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)

There's actually a really slick solution to this problem. Add all three equations. This results in 2(A+M+D)=366. Dividing by two, we see that A+M+D=183, so 183 is the total of the weights.

How to solve for slope? (pre algebra)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Ok! When given points, to find the slope, you would use this equation: y2-y1/x2-x1. Let me demonstrate. In this set to find the slope with the coordinates (10,8) and (14,20), the y2 value is 20, and the y1 value is 8, and the x2 value is 14, and the y1 value is 10. So, your equation would look like this: (20-8)/(14-10), which simplifies to 12/4, or 3! So the slope is three, and that's how you do that when using an equation. OR, you could graph them, but that isn't too reliable so I do not recommend trying it, since you may not create the right slope.
