Question

Daryl is boarding a plane he has two checked bags of equal weight and a backpack that weighs 4 kilograms the total weight in Carlsbad is 35kg write an expression to determine the weight w of each of Carl's checked bags and did the weight of each of his checked bags.

Answer 1

Since we have two bags with weight w and one backpack with 4 kg, and the total is 35 kg, we can write the equation:

$2w+4=35$

Solving this equation for w, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 2w=35-4 \\ 2w=31 \\ w=\frac{31}{2} \\ w=15.5 \end{gathered}$

So each checked bag has 15.5 kg.
