The combined weight of three basset hounds is 185 pounds. The two smaller dogs weigh the same. The difference between the larger weight and the smaller weight is 20 pounds. How many pounds does the largest dog weigh?

75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

(x) + (x) + (x+20) = 185

3x + 20 = 185

3x = 165

x = 55

Large dog = 55 + 20 = 75

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
