Given the statement:
Roger has two golden retrievers, Sadie and Buddy, buddy weighs 14 pounds more than Sadie.
Determine the weight of Sadie.
Solution:
In order to determine the weight of buddies we must first represent in an equation.
x = Saddie's weight
x + 14 = Buddie's weight
Equate the two values having the sum of 136.
x + x + 14 = 136
2x + 14 =136
2x = 136 - 14
2x = 122
2x/2 = 122/2
x = 66
Final answer:
Saddie's weight is 66 lbs.
