Weight is 2 Kgs.
Let the weight of the brick be 'X' kgs.
Then Half the weight of brick is X/2.
Now
1 kg + X/2 Kg = X Kg
hence 1 Kg = X Kg - X/2 Kg
i .e. 1 Kg = X/2 Kg
So X = 2 Kg
Weight of the Brick is 2 Kgs.

1 kilogram + x = y
Where y = weight of brick
and x = 1/2 x y
1 kilograms + y/2 = y
1 kilograms + y/2 - y/2 = y - y/2
1 kilograms = 2y/2 - y/2
1 kilograms = y/2
1 kilograms x 2 = (y/2)2
2 kilograms = y
Therefore, the weight of the brick is 2 kilograms.

the brick weighs 1 kg.
half of its weight=1/2 x 1 kg
=1/2 x 1000g
=500g
(you need to convert kg into g)
the brick's weight + 1/2 of its own weight
1kg+500g=1 kg 500g or 1.5 kg
