Please help me do this story problem:
Three boys- Jamal, Hector and Simon- work together on a farm. They walk into the barn, notice a scale used to determine the mass of cattle and decide to find their masses. Unfortunately, the scale begins at 100kg and no one has a mass greater than 100kg. They decide to find their mass in pairs and found the following results:
Hector+Simon= 132 kg
Simon + Jamal= 151 kg
Jamal + Hector= 137 kg
Jamal was certain that he had the greatest mass. Determine each boys mass and state if Jamal was right.
SHOW WORK!
Thank you
