Me on this math! i think i got the answer! puh-leez read! a potted tree weighs 35 pounds. the pot weighs 5 more pounds more than the tree. how much does the tree weigh without the pot? i think that the answer is: the tree weighs 35 pounds without the pot. i figure that is the answer because if the pot weighs 5 more pounds, then that means the tree weighs 40 pounds then without the pot its 5 lbs less which is am i right?
