Let the respective weights of the rat, cat and dog be represented by a, b and c. Then from the 1st image, a + b = 10kg .................eq.1 From the 2nd image, a + c = 20kg .................eq.2 And from the 3rd image, b + c = 24kg .................eq.3 Now, eq.2 - eq.3 gives a - b = -4kg ..................eq.4 eq.1 + eq.4 gives 2a = 6kg :. a = 3kg From eq.1, b = 10kg - a :. b = 10kg - 3kg = 7kg From eq.2, c = 20kg - a :. c = 20kg - 3kg = 17kg Now the 4th image shows a + b + c = 3kg + 7kg + 17kg = 27kg Final answer 27kg THANK YOU. 1 Like |

MrCEO69:Your topic has the potentials of coming to the fp if you had attracted many more posts within few hours of posting the topic. This I expected you to do by responding to my post immediately, even if it means not acknowledging the correctness of my solution and thereby attracting hot argument and more solutions and explanations. I commend your interest in Maths. Wishing you great success in your studies. |
