Hi Anyone can help?


The total mass of John and Daniel is 150kg. The total mass of Ramesh and Daniel is 142kg.
(a) how much heavier is John than Ramesh?
(b) if the total mass of the 3 boys is 224kg, how heavy is Daniel?

What I don’t understand is why 150-142=8 is the answer to show how much heavier is John than Ramesh??

What I don't understand is why 150-142=8 is the answer to show how much heavier is John than Ramesh??[/quote]J+D = 150 ------------(1)

R+D=142--------------(2)

Daniel is of same weight in both equations. So the difference in weight should be due to the difference of weight between John and Ramesh. Hence

J - R = 150 -142;
