    Sheila - 40kg

    Sarah - 110kg

    40 x 2 = 80

    80 + 30 = 110

    I used trial and error, starting with 50, to work this out. Here's what I did:

    Sh x2 Sa Sh + Sa

    50 100 130 180

    45 90 120 165

    40 80 110 150

    Sh = Sheila

    Sa = Sarah

    Sh + Sa = Sheila + Sarah

    Assume Sheila weighs x,

    so Sarah weighs 2x+30

    together x+2x+30=150

    remove 30 to the other side

    3x=120

    x=40

    so Sheila weighs 40

    and Sarah 2*40+30=110
