Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the other tiger is 11x - 14.

The total weight of the two tigers is 16x + 3.  Subtract the weight of one (5x + 17) from this total; the result is the weight of the other tiger:

  16x + 3

-  ( 5x + 17)

----------------

 11x - 14

The weight of the other tiger is 11x - 14.
