Answer:

Adam = 70 pounds

Ben = 40 pounds

C = 60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work out some equations based on the given information:

We can call the boys A, B and C

so,

when all three boys are standing on the scale, it reads 170 pounds.

$A + B + C = 170$ - Eq(1)

when Adam stepped off, the scale reads 100. This means that the combined weight of the remaining two boys is 100.

$B + C = 100$ - Eq(2)

when both Adam and Ben stepped off, the weight of the remaining boy is shown on the scale.

$C = 60$

So we already knew the weight of boy C. (it was in the question all along)

$C = 60$ pounds

<u>Now to find the individual weights of the remaining boys, we can work our way backwards</u><u> </u>

we can put this value back in Eq(2), to find the weight of boy B.

$B + C = 100$

$B + 60 = 100$

$B = 100 - 60$

$B = 40$

the

the weight of boy B (Ben) is $B = 40$ pounds

now we can put all of the known weights of the boys in Eq(1) to find the weight of Boy A.

$A + B + C = 170$

$A + 40 + 60 = 170$

$A + 100 = 170$

$A = 170 - 100$

$A = 70$

the weight of boy A (Adam) is $A = 70$ pounds

The Answer:

Adam = 70 pounds

Ben = 40 pounds

C = 60 pounds

He starts at -184 ft (since he is below the surface) and then goes up + 53 ft putting him at -131 ft.
-184+53=-131
Then he goes down another -168 feet to -299 ft.
-131-168=-299

So, he is currently at -299ft, or 299 feet below the surface.

Answer:

55.36 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem relates the side lengths of a right triangle. For legs 'a' and 'b', and hypotenuse 'c', it tells you ...

c² = a² +b²

__

For this figure, that means ...

?² = 19² +52² = 361 +2704 = 3065

? = √3065 ≈ 55.36 . . . . meters

The missing side length is about 55.36 meters.
