Tyler has two dogs. One of the dogs weighs twice as much as the other. If the total weight of the two dogs is 60 pounds how much does each dog weigh HELP
one dog weighs 20 pound
other 40 pound
Let W be the weight of the lighter dog and 2W = the weight of the heavier....so...
W + 2w = 60 smplify
3W = 60 divide both sides by 3
W = 20 lbs = the lighter dog
2w = 2(20) = 40 lbs. = weight of heavier dog
