On a sunny fall day, Isaac and his family go to an orchard to pick apples for their famous apple pies. First, they pick enough Golden Delicious apples to fill a bag. Then, they pick enough Honeycrisp apples to fill another bag. The bag of Honeycrisp apples weighs 20 pounds. In all, Isaac's family picks 44 pounds of apples.

Let w represent the weight of the Golden Delicious apples.

The total weight of the apples picked by Isaac's family can be represented by the equation:
w + 20 = 44

Solving for w:
w = 44 - 20
w = 24

Therefore, the weight of the Golden Delicious apples is 24 pounds.
