Given:
Justin weighs 15 pounds less than Greg weighs.
Half of Greg’s weight is 75 pounds less than Justin’s weight.
Let, Justin's weighs be x and Greg's weight be y.
According to the question,
x = y - 15 ------(i)
1/2 y = x - 75 ------(ii)
Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get
1/2 y = ( y - 15 ) - 75
1/2 y = y - 15 - 75
1/2 y = y - 90
Multiplying both side by 2, we get
y = 2 y - 180
y - 2 y = - 180
- y = - 180
y = 180
Putting value of y in equation (i), we get
x = 180 - 15 = 165
So, weighs of Justin is 165 pounds and weighs of Greg is 180 pounds.
