Answer:
3) x = 9
4) x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3) The two short segments are indicated as having a sum equal to the long segment.
(x +2) +(-5 +x) = 15
2x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
(This makes the segments be 9+2 = 11 and -5+9 = 4, which total 15.)

4) Same deal.
3x +3 = 4x
3 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3x
(This makes the segments be 3(3) = 9 and 4(3) = 12, where 9+3=12.)
Do 13,500 times .012. Take that answer and multiply it by 10. From that answer, subtract it from 13,500. That would be your final answer.
First subtract the weight the dog weighs now to the weight he was:
48.9
- 29.7
------------
19.2
Then take the number you got which is the weight the dog gain in total, and divide it by the months the dog gained weight to get the average weight gained each month:
19.2/8 = 2.4
The average weight gain each month was 2.4 pounds.
Hope this helped you!
