Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two weights

Answer 2

The weight of the car is equal to the sum of the two weights.

Step-by-step explanation:

To weigh the car, it is driven slowly on a horizontal floor over a scale that records a reading as the front wheels go over the scale, let this reading be denoted by A and then records a second reading as the rear wheels go over the scale, denoted by B.

Hence, the overall weight of the car will be the sum of weight A and B respectively.

The S.I unit for measuring weight is Newton, N.
