Answer:
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Veronika's weight = x
Let Kate's weight = y
The sum of Veronika's and Kate's weight is 118 pounds.
x + y = 118
Veronika weighs 26 pounds more than Kate.
x = y + 26
How much do they weigh individually?
We substitute y + 26 for x in Equation 1
x + y = 118
y + 26 + y = 118
26 + 2y = 118
2y = 118 - 26
2y = 92
y = 92/2
y = 46 pounds
x = y + 26
x = 46 + 26
x = 92 pounds
Hence,
Veronika's weight = 92 pounds
Kate's weight = 46 pounds
I believe this would be 5x/2x-5
Hope this helps!
