Let the weight of Paula's dog be x
Let the weight of Carla's dog be y

We know that the weight of Paula's dog is 3 times that of Carla's dog, therefore:
x = 3y ...........> equation I

We also know that the sum of the weights is 48 pounds, therefore:
x + y = 48 ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II:
3y + y = 48
4y = 48
y = 12 pouds

Substitute with the value of y in equation I:
x = 3(12) = 36 pounds

Based on the above calculations:
Paula's dog weighs 36 pounds
Carla's dog weighs 12 pounds

Answer:

(0, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add both together from x - y, each add up to their own value. For example, -5, and -9 would be -14. It's quite simple. I hope this helps. I'm sorry if this is not what you are looking for.

Gilda walks to the train station. If she walks at the rate of 3 mph, she misses her train by 7 minutes. However, if she walks at
Salsk061 [2.6K]
We'll represent the distance as d and the time as t. 
d= 3(t+7)            because Gilda is 7 minutes late when travelling 3 mph
d= 4(t-5)             because Gilda is 5 minutes early at 4 mph

d= 3t + 21
d= 4t -20
3t +21 =4t -20
41=t
d= 3(41) +21= 144
The distance is 144 miles.
