X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight

x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x           -2x
_________________
        34 = 2x -180

         141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248

which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
