Why are there never any answers to math questions on here?...

Anywho, I'd like some answers to this math quiz. Pretty please.

Kelly and Rachel collected 193 pounds of newspaper between them. Kelly collected 35 pounds more than Rachel. How many pounds of newspaper did each girl collect?

A.
Kelly: 79 pounds; Rachel: 114 pounds

B.
Kelly: 114 pounds; Rachel: 149 pounds

C.
Kelly: 114 pounds; Rachel: 79 pounds

D.
Kelly: 149 pounds; Rachel: 114 pounds

I know it's not A or B because kelly needs to have the majority of the paper. But, C and D can both be correct. ??? It's not a 2 answer question either. Error in writing or am I just stupid?

C. They had 193 pounds of paper, and 114+79 is 193.

Oh, oops. I was just being dumb lol. Does anyone have the answers for the rest of the quiz? It'd be much appreciated.
Answered by oobleck
k + r = 193
k = r+35
so,
r+35 + r = 193
and so on.
