Question

In a weight-lifting competition, the total weight of Joe's two lifts was 750 pounds. If twice the weight of his
first lift was 300 pounds more than the weight of his second lift, what was the weight, in pounds, of his first
lift?​

Answer 1

Answer:

262.5

Step-by-step explanation:

CUZ HALF is 375

and difference is 300

so first could be 525

and secnd could be 225    :difference = 300

but it is saying double of first so divide by two

= 525 /2 = 262.5
