Question

Alison's dog is 6 pounds more than five times the weight of gales dog what algebraic equation could you make to find G which is the way to gail's dog.

Answer 1

g = (x - 6) / 5

Explanation:

Given:

Let :

Alison's dog = x

Gale's dog = g

x is 6 pounds more than 5 times g

Mathematically,

x = 5g + 6

We can solve for g ;

x - 6 = 5g

Divide both sides by 5

(x - 6) / 5 = g
