Answer:
The heavier person weighs 110 pounds, and the lighter person weighs 22 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of the lighter person be 1 unit.
The weight of the heavier person will be [tex]1\times 5=5u[/tex]
Total weight: [tex]1u+5u=6u[/tex]
6 units = 132
Divide 6:
[tex]1u=\frac{132}{6}[/tex]
[tex]1u=22[/tex]
The weight of the lighter person is 22 pounds.
Weight of the heavier person [tex]= 5\times 22=110[/tex]
The weight of the heavier person is 110 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
someone= 5x
someone + x= 132
5x + x = 132
6X=132
x=22
One person ("someone") weighs x× 5 = 110.
the other person ("x) weighs x = 22
