Answer:
18
Explanation:
we need the to know the extra weight Eric has over Tom. To do that we need to subtract Tom's weight from Eric's, but now we do not know what Eric's weight is or Tom's weight. the only clue we have is that Eric is 4 inches taller than Tom
1. if Eric is 4 inches taller that Tom, then
let
Tom's height be
and
Eric's height will be 4 inches more
let's plug these two information into the formula given in the question
for the difference in their weight;
Eric's weight will be;
w =
Tom's weight will be
w =
taking the difference between the two expressions above
w =
opening the bracket
w =
w = 18 pounds
so Eric's weight is 18 pounds more than Tom's
the answer to your question is D
