Come up with 31421.8 KG

m/M=d/D

515-120= 395 = d
515+150= 665= D



m = not known
M = 52900

so now> m/ 52900 = 395/665
m/52900 = .5939849 = m = .5939* 52900= 31421.8


I usually draw a line for such questions and insert the valid info into it as so>


-150 0 120 515

you know the weight and you know how far and what is the maximum it can move between -150 and 515.

Not sure if it's correct since I'm a bit tired right now.
