Question

Mr. T weighs three times as much as his dog, x. When you add the weight of Mr. T to the weight of x,

you get 240 pounds. What does x weigh? What does T weigh?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So if we take 60 as the weight of x then

Mr T weighs = 60 x 3 = 180

T + x = 240

180 + 60 = 240

Answer 2

60 pounds

180 pounds

Explanation:

3x+x= 240

4x=240

x= 240/4

x= 60 pounds

T= 3*60= 180 pounds
