Answer:

C = 750b

Step-by-step explanation:

Conner steps on a scale holding three bricks of equal weight. The scale reads 250 pounds.

Now, if C is the Conner's weight and b is the weight of a single brick, then C will be equal to 250 times 3b.

So, the equation relating to Conner's weight and the weight of the bricks to total weight shown on the scale will be

C = 250 × 3b

⇒ C = 750b (Answer)
