Question 373225: Teri lost 4 pounds over the summer. This is four more than half the weight she want to lose by December. How much does Teri want to lose? Answer by Jstrasner(112) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hey,
For this one we need to convert the words into numbers:
4 pounds = 4 + .5W pounds
Then we simplify:
4-4=.5W
0=.5W
W=0
She wanted to lose 0 pounds
I hope this helps!
