let x be the weight of the first man, then
\n" ); document.write( "(x +(x+3) +(x+6) +(x+9)) / 4 = 66.5
\n" ); document.write( "4x +18 = 4*66.5
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 266 - 18
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 248
\n" ); document.write( "x = 62
\n" ); document.write( "our four men are 62, 65, 68, 71 kilos
\n" ); document.write( "now to determine the fifth man's weight, we use the following formula
\n" ); document.write( "(266 +y) / 5 = 66.5 - 1 y represents the weight of the fifth man
\n" ); document.write( "266 + y = 5 * (65.5)
\n" ); document.write( "266 + y = 327.5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 61.5 kilos
\n" ); document.write( "a) weight of heaviest man is 71 kilos
\n" ); document.write( "b) weight of fifth man is 61.5 kilos\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
