Given parameters:

Weight of Tan  = 146pounds

Unknown:

Weight of Minh = ?

Following this problem step wisely, we can derive a solvable algebraic equation;

  Let the weight of Minh  = M

In the second sentence, we see that Minh weighs 15pounds more than Tan;

    So;

              M  = 15 + Weight of Tan

Since we already know the weight of Tan,

  Weight of Minh  = 15 + 146  = 161pounds

We clearly see that Minh's weight will be 161 pounds.
