Let x = Darlene's dog's weightlet y = Leah's dog's weight x = 5yx + y = 84 so, 5y + y = 84, which means 6y = 84 so, y = 84/6 = 14x = 5(14) = 70 Darlene's dog = 70 lbs, Leah's dog = 14 lbs.<span> </span>
The books are $5, and the magazines are $10. I’m not sure which way you want it explained but since magazines are twice the price of books, you can solve the equation 3b + 2b = 25. This gives you b=5 which you just multiply by 2 giving you the price of a magazine.
