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). If you multiply the difference between her length and her weight by the number of full hours past midnight of her birth, you will get the number of minutes past the hour that she was born. Find her length and her weight,

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.
