sphere: 12 pounds
cylinder: 108 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
. From balance A:
3 cubes + 1 sphere = 1 cylinder + 2 spheres
. From balance B:
3 cubes = 5 spheres
Since 1 cube = 20 pounds
=> From balance B:
3 cubes * 20 pounds = 5 spheres
60 pounds = 5 sphere
60 / 5 = 5 / 5
12 pounds = 1 sphere
=> From balance A:
3 cubes + 1 sphere = 1 cylinder + 2 spheres
3 spheres * 20 pounds + 1 sphere * 12 pounds = 1 cylinder + 2 spheres * 12 pounds
120 pounds + 12 pounds = 1 cylinder + 24 pounds
132 pounds = 1 cylinder + 24 pounds
132 pounds - 24 pounds = 1 cylinder + 24 pounds - 24 pounds
108 pounds = 1 cylinder
