Answer:

Willie: 78 pounds

Ray: 118 pounds

Timothy: 130 pounds

solution: Let willy be x pounds

Ray : 40 + x pounds

Timothy: 12+(40+x) pounds

x+40+x+12+40+x=326

3x+92=326

326 - 92 =3x

234 = 3x

x = 234/3

x= 78

Willie weights 78 pounds, Ray weights 118 pounds, and Timothy weights 130 pounds..

this is ur answer hope it helps....
