Respuesta :

Answer:

Required equation : [tex]2w+4=35[/tex]

Weight of each of his checked bags = 15.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of checked bags = 2

Backpack weight = 4 kg

The total weight of Carl's baggage = 35kg

Let w is the weight of each checked bag.

Weight of 2 checked bags = 2w

Weight of 2 checked bags + Backpack weight =  Total weight of Carl's baggage

[tex]2w+4=35[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides.

[tex]2w=31[/tex]

Divide 2 from both sides.

[tex]w=\dfrac{31}{2}=15.5[/tex]

Therefore, the weight of each of his checked bags is 15.5 kg.
