Short Answer

Expert verified

Weight of the cat =13pounds.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1- Calculating weight of cat

Reading on Scale = Combined weight of Ben and cat =161 pounds.

Let us assume that weight of the cat be x pounds.

From given information, we know that,

Reading on Scale =Combined weight of Ben and cat =161pounds.

Therefore,

Weight of Ben+Weight of cat=161

02

Step-2- Solving for value of x

On substituting values, we get

x+148=161

Subtracting 148on both sides, we get

x+148-148=161-148x=161-148x=13

03

Step-3- Conclusion

Therefore, the weight of the cat =x=13pounds.
