Question

Two trains, train a and train , weigh a total of 466 tons. Train A is heavier than train b. The difference of there weights is 326 tons. What is the weight of each train

Answer 1

Answer: A = 396 tons

B = 70 tons

Explanation:

From the question,

Weight of A + Weight of B = 466

Weight of A - Weight of B = 326

A + B = 466 ......... i

A - B = 326 ..........ii

Subtract equation ii from I

2B = 140

B = 140/2

B = 70 tons

A = 466 - 70

A = 396 tons
