A trout's tail weighs eight pounds. Its head weighs as much as the tail and one-half of the body combined, and the body weighs as much as the head and tail combined. What does the whole trout weigh?
Let t be the weight of the tail, h be the weight of the head, and b be the weight of the body
h=t+(1/2)b
b=h+t
t=8
Substituteskie.
whole trout weighs 64 pounds
h= 24
b= 32
t = 8
64 pounds
by the way...
