Justin and Tyson are beginning an exercise program to train for football season. Justin weighs 150 pounds and hopes to gain 2 pounds per week. Tyson weighs 195 pounds and hopes to lose 1 pound per week. If the plan works, in how many weeks will the boys weigh the same amount? What will the weight be?
Answer :
It will take Justin and Tyson 15 weeks to both be 180 pounds. You just do 150+2*15=180 and then you would do the other one 195-1*15=180 and they both equal the same.
