Answer 2

First of all, lets consider that you made a litte mistake and you meant this problem.........

"The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than the average weight of one okapi. On average, how much does an okapi weigh, and how much does a llama weigh?"

This is a system of two equations.

Let it be X the average weight of a LLAMA
And Y the average weight of an OKAPI

X + Y = 450 kg   1)
3X = 190 kg +Y   2)

So, with 1) we have that  Y = 450 - X
We subsitute in 2) and we have 

3X = 190 + (450 -X).............We solve for X ....==> 4X = 640kg ==> X = 160kg

..We replace X in 1 and get => Y = 450kg -X = 450kg -160kg = 290kg


160kg....... average weight of a LLAMA
290kg........average weight of an OKAPI
