Question

tom and boy together weight 95 kg. thrice boy's weight exceeds twice tom's weight by 35 kg. find their weight...

Answer 1

Answer:Tom's weight is 50kg and boy's weight is 45 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of tom be 'a' then

Weight of boy be (95-a).

By question

3(95-a)-35=2a

or,

285-3a-35=2a

Or, -5a=-285+35

Or, -5a=-250

So, a=250/5=50

Weight of tom is 50kg and weight of boy is (95-50)=45kg
