FIRST CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

let we think the weight of one checked bag=x

weight of two checked bags=x+x=2x

total weight of Carl's baggage=35kg

backpack weight=4kg

2x+4kg=35kg

2x=35kg-4kg

x=31kg/2

x=15.5kg

weight of one checked bag=15.5kg

Answer 2

Answer:let the weigh of bag be x and backpack be y

hOwever we know y equal to 4kg

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x)+1(4)=35

2x=35-4

2x=31

X=15.5
