    24 pounds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let Andy's bike be x pounds then Barry's bike is x + 6 (6 pounds more)

    The total weight of their bikes is 42, hence

    x + x + 6 = 42

    2x + 6 = 42 (subtract 6 from both sides of the equation)

    2x = 36 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 18

    Hence Barry's bike weighs x + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24
