Ernesto loses 14.5 pounds in 7 months. Now he weighs 156.5 pounds. Which equation can be used to find how much he weighed before? Please help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 14.5 to 156.5 to find the previous weight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i suppose if you wanted to be silly you could say "solve \(x-14.5=156.5\) for \(x\) " but really, just add

Ok- it would be 171 weight. Thank you so much!!!! I am new to Open Study by the way. :)

add the old pounds to the new pounds that seven is the irrelivent information
