A:
Answer Find out the which system of equations could you use to determine how much each weighs .To proveAs givenHoratio weighs three times as much as Kimberly. together they weigh a total of 95 kilograms . h = represents Horatio's weight .k = represents Kimberly's weight.As Horatio weighs three times as much as Kimberly .Horatio weighs becomes (h) = 3kThan the equation becomesh + k = 95put h = 3k in the above equation3k + k = 954k = 95[tex]k = \frac{95}{4}[/tex]k = 23.75 kilogramPut in the equationh = 3k = 3 × 23.75 = 71.25 kilogramTherefore the weight of the Horatio's is 71.25 kilogram. and the weight of the Horatio's is 23.75 kilogram.
