Essay content:

Weight of hippos = A, B, C, D 2) She weighs all possible pairs.(a+b) ,(a+c) a + d, b + c, b + d, and c + d. So, based on the pairs of weights that are given in the problem: We assume that: a+b = 312 kg a+c = 356 kg a+d = 378 kg b+c = 444 kg b+d = 466 kg c+d = ??? kg By using logic a +b is the lightest combination, a+c is the Adding the first five equations above: a+b + a + c + a + d + b + c + b + d = 312 + 356 + 378 +444 + 466 Simplify that: 3a + 3b + 2c + 2d = 1956 Subtracting off the second and third equations twice from the equation directly above this: 3a + 3b + 2c + 2d - 2(a+c) - 2(a+d) = 1956 - 2(356) - 2(378) Simplify that: -a + 3b = 488 Adding the first equation: -a+3b + (a+b) = 488 + 312 Simplify: 4b = 800 Dividing that one by 4: b = 200 -- we now have our first hippo weight! Using the very first equation above: a+b = 312 Plug in the value for "b": a+200 = 312 a = 112 Using the fourth equation: b+c = 444 Plug in "b": 200+c = 444 c = 244 Using the fifth equation: b+d = 466 Plug in "b": 200+d = 466 d = 266 So the individual weights are 112, 200, 244, 266...
