Problema Solution
Homer weighs 243 pounds and is losing 4 pounds a week on his diet. Bart weighs 129 pounds and is gaining 2 pounds a week. How many weeks will it be when Homer and Bart weigh the same?
Answer provided by our tutors
H = 243 - 4x
B = 129 + 2x
243-4x = 129 + 2x
6x = 243 + 129
x = 372/6 = 62
