George weighs 60 pounds less than his older brother. Together they weigh 240 pounds. How many pounds does George weigh?

Easy Algebra question!

Let's use "x" as a variable.

The equation would be x+x+60 = 240 with "x" being George's weight.

Subtract 60 from both sides and you get 2x = 180.

From there you divide both sides by 2, getting x=90.

"x" is George's weight, so he weighs 90 pounds.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
