Answer:

Lost 6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

While all three were healthier after six weeks,

  • the first friend had lost 5 pounds (this means [tex]-5[/tex]),
  • the second friend had gained 3 pounds (this means [tex]+3[/tex]),
  • the third friend had lost 4 pounds (this means [tex]-4[/tex]).

In total, they lost 6 pounds because

[tex]-5+3-4=-2-4=-6[/tex]
