how much did he lose?

david gained 13 pounds over the winter. He went on a diet and lost 28 pounds. Then he regained 3 pounds and weighed 179 pounds. How much did he weigh originally?

To find out how much David weighed originally, we can follow these steps:

1. Let's assume David's original weight is represented by the variable "x".
2. David gained 17 pounds over the winter, so his weight after the winter can be represented as "x + 17".
3. After going on a diet, David lost 27 pounds, which means his weight after losing weight is "(x + 17) - 27" or "x - 10".
4. David then regained 5 pounds, so his weight after regaining would be "(x - 10) + 5" or "x - 5".
5. According to the information provided, his weight after all these changes is 177 pounds. So we have the equation "x - 5 = 177".
6. To find the value of "x", we can solve this equation by adding 5 to both sides: "x - 5 + 5 = 177 + 5" which simplifies to "x = 182".

Therefore, David originally weighed 182 pounds.
