Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum means add

-9+n

Multiply this by 1/2

1/2(-9+n)

This is equal to 20

1/2(-9+n) = 20

Solve

Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fraction

2*1/2(-9+n) = 20*2

-9+n = 40

Add 9 to each side

-9+9 +n = 40+9

n = 49

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

A: 244 pounds

B: 122 pounds

C: 274 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have A+B+C = 640; A=2B; C=A+30. Substituting the last into the first gives ...

A + B + (A +30) = 640

2A +B = 610 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

Substituting the second into this equation gives ...

2(2B) +B = 610

B = 610/5 = 122 . . . . . divide by 5

A = 2B = 244 . . . . . . . .find A from B

C = A+30 = 274 . . . . . find C from A

Box A weighs 244 pounds; box B weighs 122 pounds; box C weighs 274 pounds.
