at the pet fair, Darlene's dog weighed 5 times as much as leah's dog. Together, the dogs weighed 84 pounds. how much did each dog weigh? complete the bar model. write an equation and solve

Respuesta :

let d = Darlene's dog's weight
let l = Leah's dog's weight
 d = 5l
d + l = 84
 so, 5l + l = 84, which means 6l= 84  
so, l = 84/6 = 14d = 5(14) = 70    
Darlene's dog = 70 lbs, Leah's dog = 14 lbs.
