16. One hamster weighs 300 g less than 1
the weight of a second. If their combined
weight is 1950 g, how much does each
hamster weigh?
or confort dat

Answer 1

The sum of the two hamsters weight = 1950g

If hamster1 (x) = hamster2 (y) + 300g

Therefore

1950g = x + y

1950g = x + (x +300g)

1950g - 300g = x + x

1650g = 2x

825g = x

Therefore

Hamster1 = x = 825g
Hamster2 = x + 300g = 1125g
