Two trains, Train A and Train B, weigh a ton of 484 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The difference of their weights is 398 tons. What is the weight of each train.

A = 441 tons

B = 43 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = weight of train A and B = weight of train B,

Given that they two trains weigh a total of 484 tons,

A + B = 484 (eq 1)

Also given that the difference of their weights is 398 tons and A is heavier than B,

A - B = 398 (eq 2)

solving the system of equations by elimination

(eq1) + (eq2):

(A + B) + (A - B) = 484 + 398

A + B + A - B = 882

2A = 882 (divide both sides by 2)

A = 882/2

A = 441 tons  (substitute this back into equation 1)

A + B = 484

441 + B = 484  (subtract 441 from both sides)

B = 484 - 441

B = 43 tons

Hope this helps!
