Answer:

Weight of Mohib package = 4 pounds

Weight of Rajesh package = 11 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Weight of Mohib package = x

Weight of Rajesh package = 2x + 3

Total weight = 15

Total weight = Weight of Mohib package + Weight of Rajesh package

15 = x + (2x + 3)

15 = x + 2x + 3

15 - 3 = x + 2x

12 = 3x

x = 12/3

x = 4 pounds

Weight of Mohib package = x

= 4 pounds

Weight of Rajesh package = 2x + 3

= 2(4) + 3

= 8 + 3

= 11 pounds
