Question

Two trains train a interim be weird total of 333 tons. Train hey is heavier than train B.The difference of their weight is 141 tons… What is the weight of each train??

Answer 1

Weight of Train A = A = 237 tons

Weight of Train B = B = 96 tons

Explanation:

Two trains train a and be weigh a total of 333 tons. Train A is heavier than train B.The difference of their weight is 141 tons… What is the weight of each train??

Let us represent:

Weight of Train A = A

Weight of Train B = B

Our system of Equations is given as:

A + B = 333 tons..... Equation 1

A - B = 141 tons....... Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method

We Add Equation 1 and 2 together to Eliminate B

Hence:

2A = 474 tons

A = 474 tons/2

A = 237 tons

Solving for B using Equation 1

A + B = 333 tons..... Equation 1

237 tons + B = 333 tons

B = 333 tons - 237 tons

B = 96 tons

Therefore:

Weight of Train A = A = 237 tons

Weight of Train B = B = 96 tons
