1. Solve the equation for the exact weight x
-125 + 7x - 4x + 5(x+1) = 7(x+5) + 15
Simplify:
-125 + 8x + 5 = 7x + 50
Combine like terms:
-120 + 8x = 7x + 50
Isolate x
x = 170
His actual weight was 170 kg
2. Calculate 30% of the weight:
0.30 \times 170 = 51 \text{ kg}
He needs to loose 51 kg
3. Subtract the weight to lose from the original weight:
170 - 51 = 119 \text{ kg}
His current weight after loosing 30% weight is 119 kg
So you need to lose 51 kg, and your new weight would be 119 kg.
