Respuesta :

Answer:

Julie weighs 35 pounds, Ted weighs 70 pounds and Mike weighs 105 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ted weighs = t

Mike weighs = m

Julie weighs = j

First statement is given " Ted weighs twice as much as Julie."  t = 2j

Second statement "Mike weighs three times as much as Julie." m = 3j

Third statement Together weight 210 lbs.

= t + m + j = 210 lbs

= 2j + 3j + j = 210

= 6j = 210

j = 35 lbs

t = 35 × 2 = 70 lbs

m = 35 × 3 = 105 lbs

Julie weighs 35 pounds, Ted weighs 70 pounds and Mike weighs 105 pounds.

Answer:

Weight of Julie=35 lbs

Weight of Ted=[tex]70lbs[/tex]

Weight of Mike=[tex]105 lbs[/tex]

Let weight of Julie=x

Weight of Ted=2x

Weight of Mike=3x

Sum of weight of three person=210 lbs

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]x+2x+3x=210[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex]6x=210[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{210}{6}[/tex]

Division property of equality

[tex]x=35[/tex]

Weight of Julie=35 lbs

Weight of Ted=[tex]2\times 35=70lbs[/tex]

Weight of Mike=[tex]3\times 35=105 lbs[/tex]
