joes dad weighs 140 pounds more than joe. their combined is 336 pounds. how much does his dad weigh?

Sagot :

Answer: 238 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

x = joe's weight

y = joe's dad's weight

x + y = 336

y = x +140

Substitute for y

x + x + 140 = 336

2x + 140 =336

2x = 196

x = 98

Joe weighs 98 lbs

Now, plug that into Joe's dad's weight equation

y = 98 + 140

y = 238

Joe's dad weighs 238 lbs
