In order to solve this word
problem this will be identified in an algebraic expression between the given
numbers and values.

Given are:

Let,

N = 1.5 x Jill

J = Jill

T = Jill + 15 kilograms

Solution is:

1.  N + J + T = 190
kilograms

2.  1.5J + J + (J +
15) = 190

3.  3.5J + 15 = 190

4.  3.5J =190 – 15    

5.  3.5J = 175

6.  J = 175/3.5 = 50


Therefore Jill weighs 50 kilograms,
