Easy Algebra question!
Let's use "x" as a variable.
The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.
Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.
From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.
"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.
ANSWER: 90 POUNDS
The weight of George is 90 pounds and the weight of George's brother is 150 pounds.
What is the linear system?
A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.
George weighs 60 pounds less than his older brother.
Together they weigh 240 pounds.
Let George weigh be x and his brother weigh be y.
x + y = 240 ...1
x = y - 60 ...2
Then from equations 1 and 2, we have
2x = 180
x = 90
Then y will be
y = 90 + 60
y = 150
