Answer: 186+14-26+5=179 pounds

Explanation:

1. Regainged 5 pounds and weighed 179 pounds = So he weiged 179-5=174 pounds."and lost 26 pounds"

2. To weigh 174 pounds,so he used to weigh 174+26=200 pounds, David gained 14 pounds over the winter, so he weighed 200-14=186 pounds.

3. Check 186+14-26+5=179 pounds

If you are doing algebra, then X+14-26+5=179

Solve for X.

HOPE THIS HELPS!! :)) TRIED MY BEST!!
