Answer: 120 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The Sum of David and mike weight is 180 pounds
Suppose the weight of David is x and the weight of mike is y
So, [tex]x+y=180[/tex]
Also, subtracting David's weight from Mike's weight, we get half of Mike's weight
[tex]\Rightarrow y-x=\dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow 2x=y[/tex]
Put the value of x in the above equation, we get
[tex]\Rightarrow 1.5y=180\\\Rightarrow y=120\ pounds[/tex]
Thus, mike Weighs 120 Pounds
