Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog. What algebraic expression could you make to find (g) which

emmasim [6.3K]

Given that Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog, it is important to know the following:

1. The word "more" indicates an Addition.

2. The word "times" indicates Multiplication.

Knowing this, you can write the following expression to represent "5 times the weight of Gail’s dog", where "g" is the weight of Gail’s dog:

$5g$

Therefore, you can determine that the weight of Allison's dog (in pounds) is the sum of 6 pounds and 5 times the weight of Gail's dog (in pounds). Then, you can represent this with this algebraic expression:

$5g+6$

Hence, the answer is:

$5g+6$
