To get Tweedledee's side of it, divide 361 by 2 to get 180.5 lbs. Since they are the same exact size and age in proportion to their body size, shape, and age, then they are both 180.5 lbs. To find half of 361 lbs., just divide it by 2.
To get Tweedledee's side of it, do the same for that number, and you get 181 lbs.
They are arguing with one another as to what their weight is.

Tweedledum says The sum of your weight and twice mine is 361 pounds. Tweedledee answers the sum of your weight and twice mine is 362 pounds. Find the absolute difference between the two weights?
Let x lb be Tweedledum's weight and y lb be Tweedledee's weight. We can write a system of linear equations: (1) y + 2x = 361 (2) x + 2y = 362. Let's solve this by substitution: first, rewrite equation (1) as y = 361 - 2x, then substitute for y in equation (2) ... x + 2(361 - 2x) = 362 x + 722 - 4x = 362 -3x = 362 - 722 x = -360/-3 x = 120. Now substitute that back into the first equation as rewritten: y = 361 - 2(120) y = 361 -240 y = 121. Tweedledum weighs 120 pounds and Tweedledee weighs 121 pounds. The difference of their weights is one pound.
