    Let

    his and skateboard's combined mass is x

    we know

    F1=-F2

    0.5kg*10m/s=-0.05m/s xkg

    5=0.05x (minus cancel with the m/s as it represented the opposite direction of velocity and now there is no velocity in this equation ... so minus is avoidable. and the kgs cancel out)

    x=10

    so their combined mass is a 100 kg ... (I hope I didn't mess thing up for you)
