In order to solve this word
problem this will be identified in an algebraic expression between the given
numbers and values.
Given are:
Let,
N = 1.5 x Jill
J = Jill
T = Jill + 15 kilograms
Solution is:
1. N + J + T = 190
kilograms2. 1.5J + J + (J +
15) = 1903. 3.5J + 15 = 1904. 3.5J =190 – 15 5. 3.5J = 1756. J = 175/3.5 = 50Therefore Jill weighs 50 kilograms,
