Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of box and pocking material [tex]=13[/tex] pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of box and packing material [tex]=x[/tex]

weight of package [tex]=192[/tex] pounds

total weight [tex]=205[/tex] pound

[tex]x+192=205[/tex]

Subtract both side by [tex]192[/tex]

[tex]x+192-192=205-192\\x+0=13\\x=13[/tex]

Hence weight of box and packing material [tex]=13[/tex] pound
