The center on an NFL football team weighed 137 pounds more than his wife. If their total weight was 395 pounds, how much does each weigh?

Answer :

The weight of wife is 129 pounds and the weight of husband is 266 pounds.

Given that, let the weight of wife be x.

Then the weight of husband will be x+137.

Here, total weight = 395 pounds

Now, x+x+137=395

2x+137=395

2x=395-137

2x=258

x=129

x+137=266

Therefore, the weight of wife is 129 pounds and the weight of husband is 266 pounds.
