Answer:

181 pounds

Explanation:

You have already got the equation and solution which is great! The next step is simply a matter of replacing "x" with "7", because you know x=7.

After doing this, you will be left with the equation 160+3*7=195-2*7. We will look at the first part of the equation first. Using the rules of BIDMAS, you can calculate 3*7=21 and then 160+21=181. 181 is your final answer.

You can check that this is right by calculating the second part of the equation, and once done you should be left with 181. Again, using BIDMAS, you need to do 2*7=14 then 195-14=181. Now we know that everything is correct.
