Answer:

One child weighs 120lbs, and the other weighs 40lbs.

Explanation:

Assuming that you meant "Two" instead of "Do", there are two children that weigh 160 pounds together. If we know that one child weighs 120lbs more, we know that the other child has to weigh 40lbs using the equation below where x represents the weight of the second child:

120 + x = 160

Subtract 120 from both sides

x = 40

FINAL ANSWER: One child weighs 120lbs, and the other weighs 40lbs.
