Julius wieghs twice as much as each of his twin brothers. If each of the twins gain 5lb and Julius gains twice that amount, the sum of the three brother's wieght will be 240lb. How much does each wiegh right now?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let one of the twins weight \"x\" lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "Then Julius weights \"2x\" lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "After the gaining:
\n" ); document.write( "Each twin weighs \"x+51\" lbs
\n" ); document.write( "Julius weights \"2x+102\" lbs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+51)+2x+102=240 lbs
\n" ); document.write( "4x+204=240
\n" ); document.write( "4x=36
\n" ); document.write( "x=9 (weight of one twin now)
\n" ); document.write( "2x=18 (Julius' weight now)
