Answer:

116

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use variables

a+b=110

a+c=112

a+d=113

b+c=118

b+d=121

add up the weights and you get 574 kg (you need to find c+d)

3a+3b+2c+2d=574

a+b+c+d = 230 as given then you multiply by 3 so you can cancel out 3a and 3b and subtract 690-574 because we multiplied by 3

you are left with c+d=116
