Domik weights 30 pounds more than his sister
Together they weigh 330 pounds
Let "x" represent the weight of Dominik's sister, then his weight can be expressed as "x+30"
And their total weight can be calculated as:
From this expression you can calculate the value of x:
x=150 pounds
x+30=150+30=180 pounds
Dominik weights 180pounds and his sister 150 pounds
Richard is 14 years old and Teo is 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Richard's age = x
Teo's age = y
Combined age = 20 years
According to given statement;
x+y=20 Eqn 1
x = 2y+2 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 3
Putting y=6 in Eqn 2
Richard is 14 years old and Teo is 6 years old.
