Sagot :

Answer:

A= 228 tons  

B=52 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Train A and Train​ B, weigh a total of 280 tons

A+B=280----1

A-B=176----2

From 1

A= 280-B

put this in 2

280-B-B= 176

280-2B= 176

280-176= 2B

104= 2B

B= 104/2

B=52 tons

Put B=52  in 1

A+52=280

A= 280-52

A= 228 tons
