Karen has two dogs. the larger dog weighs 1.4 pounds more than the smaller dog. the combined weight of the two dogs is 12.6 pounds. what is the weight of the smaller dog

5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

let ‘x’ denotes the weight of smaller dog.

“1.4″ + x” be weight of larger dog

combined weight = 12.6

smaller dog weight =

x+x+1.4 = 12.6

2x + 1.4 = 12.6

2x = 12.6–1.4

2x = 11.2

x = 11.2/2

x = 5.6

answer: the answer is 5/22
