For part of the first year of a dog's life, its growth can be

approximated using a linear function. Emilie has two puppies:
a Border collie and a younger Saint
Bernard. During a 4-week period,
the Border collie grows from
13.4 kg to 17 kg, while the Saint
Bernard
grows from 6 kg to 12.4 kg.
Suppose each dog grows at a
constant rate. Will the dogs
ever have the same mass? If
so, approximately what is
the mass?

On the table i made just realised i used 2 weeks instead of 4 just change that and instead do 4|8|12|16|instead of 2|4|6|8 and do the same for the other puppy and compare this may not be the correct answer but hope this gives an idea, hope this helps!
