Zero Error Scales (Posted on 2019-06-24)

Lucy stands on a set of faulty scales that state her mass as 48 kg. David's mass from the same scales is recorded as 56 kg and their combined mass is recorded as 107 kg.

Assuming the magnitude and nature of the errors was constant, what is the true mass of David?
