Rachel ---- x pounds
Kelly ------ x+35 pounds

x + x+35 = 193

solve for x

Looks like your answer is not correct,
You should have knows that answer makes no sense since they would have collected 263 pounds.

149 + 114 = 263 ... TOO MUCH

79 So I am dumb

The answer is A

In this situation it would be impossible for Kelly or Rachel to both carry weight more than 100 pounds if they actually carried a total of 193 pounds, so cross out B and D for sure. Now if Kelly carried 35 pounds more than Rachel, then it's likely that Kelly carried 114 pounds and Rachel carried 79 pounds, where 114 - 35 = 79. And so the amount they both carry of 79 and 114 pounds sums up to 193 pounds.
