Q:

Fido weighs 26 pounds more than fifi. fifi weighs 12 pounds less than rover. if the sum of their weights is 71, how much does fifi weigh?

Accepted Solution

A:
Hey there,
Let's say Rover's weight is x,
Rover = x
Fifi = x - 12 
Fido = x - 12 + 26
x + x - 12 + x - 12 + 26 = 71
3x - 12 - 12 + 26 = 71
3x + 2 = 71
3x = 71 - 2
3x = 69
x = 69 / 3
  = 23
Fifi = 23 - 12
      = 11 pounds

Hope this helps :)) It would be great if you would mark my answer as the brainliest ;)
