Answer:
Train A = 320 tons. Train B = 95 tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two trains,Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 415 tons.
Train A is heavier than Train B.
The difference of their weights is 225 tons.
Question asked:
What is the weight of each train?
Solution:
<u>As given that Train A is heavier than Train B and their weight's difference is 225 tons:-</u>
Let weight of Train B = tons
Then weight of Train A = tons
<u>Combined weight of both train is 415 tons</u>
Weight of Train A + Weight of Train B = 415 tons
Subtracting both sides by 225
Dividing both sides by 2
<u>Substituting the value:- </u>
Weight of Train B = = 95 tons
Then weight of Train A = = 95 + 225 = 320 tons
Therefore, weight of Train A is 320 tons and weight of Train B is 95 tons.
