Question

Simba weighs five pounds more than Sasha. If they both gain two
pounds, Simba will weigh twice as much as Sasha. How many pounds
does Sasha weigh now?

Answer 1

b = h + 5

b + 2 = 2 (h + 5 + 2)

solve the system ... substitution seems like a good approach

Answer 2

oops...

2nd equation should be ... b + 2 = 2 (h + 2)

Answer 3
