Let x=weight of baseball
\n" ); document.write( "Then 1.25-x=weight of football
\n" ); document.write( "Then 1.35-x=weight of soccer ball
\n" ); document.write( "Then 1.9=(1.25-x) + (1.35-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.9 = 1.25 -x + 1.35 -x
\n" ); document.write( "1.9 = 2.60 -2x
\n" ); document.write( "1.9-2.6 = -2x
\n" ); document.write( "-0.7 = -2x
\n" ); document.write( "-0.7/-2 = x
\n" ); document.write( "0.35 = x (weight of baseball)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.25 -x = 0.9 (weight of football)
\n" ); document.write( "1.35 -x = 1.0 (weight of soccer ball)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This problem was a little wordy, but I think that we solved it?\r
