Answer:
The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
big dog = b
medium dog = m
small dog = s
Equations
b = 5s
m = 12 + s
s = 2/3 m
Process
1.- Substitute m in the last equation
s = 2/3(12 + s)
s = 24/3 + 2/3s
s - 2/3s = 8
1/3 s = 8
s = 8(3)
s = 24 pounds
2.- Substitute s in the first equation
b = 5(24)
b = 120 pounds
P = 2(L + W)
P = 28
L = 2W - 1
28 = 2(2W - 1 + W)
28 = 2(3W - 1)
28 = 6W - 2
28 + 2 = 6W
30 = 6W
30/6 = W
5 = W ....width is 5 ft
L = 2W - 1
L = 2(5) - 1
L = 10 - 1
L = 9 <=== length is 9 ft
