Answer 1

Given that

An individual lost 2 pounds in the first week of their diet. Over the next three weeks, they lost 1 pound, gained 3 pounds, and then lost 2 pounds.

Explanation -

So the lost weight will be shown by a negative number and a positive number will show the gained weight.

Then,

Total change in the weight = -2 - 1 + 3 - 2 = -2

Hence the change in his weight will be 2 pounds.

So the final answer will be 2 pounds.
