a mail truck picks up two boxes of mail from the post office. the total weigth of the boxes is 32 pounds. One box is 8 pounds heavier than the other box. How much does each box weigth?

Respuesta :

One box weighs 12 pounds and the other box weighs 20.
What I did was 32 minus 8 = 24 divide 2 = 12 then 12 add 8 and equals 20 so one box is 20 and the other 12
