Question 51052
a man weighs 5\6 th his weight plus 30 pounds what is his weight?   please help asap i need this tomorrow

If a man weighs 5/6 of his weight + 30lbs, then 30lbs represents 1/6 of his weight because 30lbs is all that remains. 
So...
1/6x = 30
multiply by 6 to eliminate fraction...
6(1/6)x = 6(30)
perform operations...
1x = 180
simplify
x = 180 lbs.

Good Luck!
