If the gray suitcase weighs 11 lb more than the pink suitcase, the pink suitcase weighs 5 lb than the blue suitcase, and the total of 3 suitcases is 127 lb, then the blue suitcase weighs 35.3 lb

Let the gray suitcase be represented by g

Let the pink suitcase be represented by p

Let the blue suitcase be represented by b

The gray suitcase weighs 11 lb more than the pink suitcase

g    =   p   +   11........(1)

The pink suitcase weighs 5 lb than the blue suitcase.

p   =  b  +  5

b  =  p  -  5...........(2)

Total of 3 suitcases = 127 lb

p  +  b  +  g    =  127............(3)

Substitute equations (1) and (2) into equation (3)

p  +  p  - 5 + p  +  11   =  127

3p  +  6   =  127

3p   =  127  -  6

3p   =  121

p  =  121/3

p  = 40.3 lb

Substitute p = 40.3 into equation (2)

b = p - 5

b  = 40.3  - 5

b  =  35.3

The blue suitcase weigh 35.3 lb
