Answer:

no of 5 kg disks is 3, and no of 2 kg disks is (10-3) i.e. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of 2kg disks be a.

Let no of 5 kg disks be b.

2a+5b=29

a+b=10

Using substitution, we have

2(10-b) + 5b=29

20-2b+5b=29

20+3b=29

3b=9

b=3

So no of 5 kg disks is 3, and no of 2 kg disks is (10-3) i.e. 7
