Question

Justin and Tyson are beginning an exercise program to train for football season and want to build muscle. Justin weighs 150 pounds and hopes to gain 2 pound per week. Tyson weighs 160 pounds and hopes to gain 1 pound per week. After how many weeks will they weigh the same amount?

Answer 1

Answer:

At 15 weeks they will both weigh 180

Step-by-step explanation:

150 + 2w = 195 - w

2w + w = 195 - 150

3w = 45

w = 45/3

w = 15 <=== they will weigh the same at 15 weeks

150 + 2(15) = 150 + 30 = 180...and they will both weigh 180 lbs

I hope this helps you :)
