Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds. What is Janes weight?

1 answer:

7 0

Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270

2x -12 = 270 (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282 (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141

The answer is 141 pounds
