Question 597103: DATE: May 29 TIME: 3:39AM
If you add Beth�s weight (in pounds) to her length (in inches), then you will get 2 less than her date of birth (not including the month).

Weight + length = 29 - 2 = 27

(Length - Weight)* 3 = 39 --> Length - Weight = 13

Adding these equations up, we get

2*Length = 40 --> Length = 20 (inches)

Plugging this in to either equation, we obtain Weight = 7 lb.
