Let the man's weight = x lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F6%29x+%2B+30+=+x\" Simplify and solve for x. Multiply everything by 6.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+%2B+180+=+6x\" Subtract 5x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+180\"lbs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: Set x = 180\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F6%29%28180%29%2B30+=+180\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2B30+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"180+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
