First Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the football player in May = 170 pounds

Weight gained during summers = 25 pounds

Weight lost in first week of practice = 10 pounds.

Weight lost in second week of practice = 3 pounds

Weight of player at this point = 170 + 25 - 10 - 3 = 195 - 13 = 182 pounds or 182 lb

Therefore, First Option is correct.

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
