Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The weight of the firefighter's equipment is60 pounds. The weight of the firefighter is $x$ pounds3. The total weight $t$ is the sum of the weight of the firefighter and his equipment

STEP 2

To find the total weight, we need to add the weight of the firefighter and the weight of his equipment.
$t = weight\, of\, firefighter + weight\, of\, equipment$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the weight of the firefighter and the weight of his equipment to form the equation.
$t = x +60$ This is the equation that can be used to find $t$ , the total weight of both the firefighter and his equipment in pounds.
