Question

tim started feeding his dog a new brand of food. after the six months, his dog had lost 2 pounds. after the next six months, his dog had gained 2 pounds. what is his dogs next weight change after one year?

Answer 1

`N=0`

Explanation:

Given

`Lost = 2lb`

`Gained = 2lb`

Required:

Determine the net weight change

The weight lost will be treated as negation.

So, the net weight change (N) is:

`N=Gained - Lost`

Substitute values for weight gained and lost

`N=2lb - 2lb`

`N=0`

Hence, the net weight change is 0
