At the pet fair Darlene's dog weighed five times as much as leaders dog. Together the dogs weighed 84 pounds how much did each dog weigh?

Let the weight of the leader dog = X

Then Darlene's dog weighs = 5X (fives times as much)

Now add both together to equal 84 pounds:

5X + X = 84

Simplify:

6x = 84

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 84 / 6

x = 14

The leader dog weighs 14 pounds.

Darlene's dog weighs 70 pounds.
