Question 178858: One turkey weighs 3 pounds less than twice another. If the heavier turkey weights 29 pounds, how much does the lighter turkey weigh? Answer by EMStelley(208) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's call the other turkey's weight w. Then "one turkey weighs 3 pounds less than twice another" is like saying that turkey weighs 2w-3. The assumption has to be made that the heavier turkey is 2w-3, so
2w-3=29
2w=32
w=16
