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?

71 - 12 = 59 - 26 = 33/3 = 11

3fi+26+12=71

-12 -12
3fi+26=59
-26 -26
3Fi = 33
=11

How do you get 3 ?

Well, it seems like Fido is carrying more "pound"-age than Fifi, which makes him quite the heavy doggo. Rover, on the other hand, seems to be carrying even more "weight" than Fifi. But don't worry, I won't leave you hanging like a bone on a tree branch! Let's solve this weighty puzzle step by step, shall we?

Let's assume Fifi's weight is "x" pounds. Since Fido weighs 26 pounds more than Fifi, Fido's weight would be "x + 26" pounds. And since Fifi weighs 12 pounds less than Rover, Rover's weight would be "x + 12 + x" pounds, which simplifies to "2x + 12" pounds.

According to the information given, the sum of their weights is 71 pounds. So, we can write an equation:

x + (x + 26) + (2x + 12) = 71

Combining like terms, we get:

4x + 38 = 71

Subtracting 38 from both sides gives us:

4x = 33

Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives us:

x = 8.25

So, Fifi weighs approximately 8.25 pounds. Although, she's probably too small to carry around a "weighty" sense of humor like myself!

To find out how much Fifi weighs, we need to break down the information given and solve the problem step by step.

Let's start by assigning variables to each pet's weight.
Let F represent Fifi's weight.
Since Fido weighs 26 pounds more than Fifi, Fido's weight can be represented as F + 26.
And since Fifi weighs 12 pounds less than Rover, Rover's weight can be represented as F + 12.

We know that the sum of their weights is 71. So we can form an equation:

F + (F + 26) + (F + 12) = 71

Now, we can solve the equation for F.

Combining like terms, we get:

3F + 38 = 71

Subtracting 38 from both sides of the equation:

3F = 33

Dividing both sides by 3:

F = 11

Therefore, Fifi weighs 11 pounds.

the actual answer is 11 idk how cause this is on the asvab practice test and thats the answer they give is 11.

Fid = Fif + 26

Fif = R-12 so R = Fif+12

Fid + Fif + R = 71

Fif+26 + Fif + Fif+12 = 71
