Answer 1

(Me, going to answer the easy questions because hard ones give me headaches)

Alright, listen up.

Steps:

First step: 60 is Lenny's lizard weight. Since it said 6 pounds less than double the lizard weight, we are going to multiply 60 by 2, therefore it would be 120.

Next step: Now 6 pounds less, so we are going to subtract 6 from that 120. 120 - 6 = 114.

Last step...: Label/answer: Lenny's lizard weight is 114 pounds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Laura’s lizard weights 33 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x be Laura’s lizard and

Let 2x - 6 be Lenny’s lizard

We know Lenny’s lizard is 60 pounds. Now to find Laura’s , equate( 2x - 6 )to 60 and solve for x

60 = 2x - 6

x =33

Therefore 33 is the answer
