the heaviest human of all time weighed 486 kg this is 12 kg less than 6 times juans weight. how much does juan weigh?
474=6x
X= 79
let Juan's weight be x kg
then 6x - 12 = 486
6x = 498
x = 83
check: 6 times J's weight is 498
is 486 kg 12 less than 498 ? yes!
Chopsticks is wrong.
let W = Juan's weight in kg
6W - 12kg = 486kg
6W = 498kg
W = ?
486- 12 = 474
474 / 6 = 79
x= 79
To find out how much Juan weighs, we need to solve the equation given in the problem. Let's break it down:
Let's say Juan's weight is represented by "x".
According to the problem, the heaviest human weighed 486 kg, which is 12 kg less than 6 times Juan's weight.
We can write this information in the form of an equation:
486 = 6x - 12
To solve for "x" (Juan's weight), we'll isolate it on one side of the equation:
486 + 12 = 6x
498 = 6x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
498 ÷ 6 = x
x ≈ 83
Therefore, Juan weighs approximately 83 kg.
