the heaviest human of all times weighed 486 kilograms. this is 12 kilograms less than 6 times juan's weight. how much does juan weigh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

486 = (6 * J) - 12 Does this setup make sense ? J represents Juan's weight.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i get " j " ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

J is just for "Juan." It can be any letter. It's just a variable. You have to solve for \(J\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know but 6 x j ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 times his weight, like the problem said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

83?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

83 kilos is right.
