Question

tom is 2 kg heavier than harry, who is 3 kg heavier than ben. when they add up all their weights, it comes to 65 kg. how many kg does harry weigh?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Harry = x

Tom = harry + 2

Tom = x + 2

Ben + 3 = harry

harry - 3 = ben

x - 3 = ben

Tom + harry + Ben = 65

x + 2 + x + x - 3 = 65

3x - 1 = 65 Add 1 to both sides

3x = 65 + 1

3x = 66 Divide by 3

x = 66/3

x = 22

So harry = 22 kg
