Question

Karim's dog weighs 1.5 pounds less than double the weight of Frank's dog. Karim's dog weighs 15 pounds. Which equation and solution can be used to find w, the weight of Frank's dog?

Group of answer choices

15 = 2w + 1.5; w= 6.75

15 = 2w - 1.5; w = 8.25

w - 15 = 1.5; w = -13.5

w + 15 = 1.5; w= 16.5

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Karim's dog = 15 pounds

Frank dog = 2x more pounds than Karim's dog + 1.5 pounds

(Karim) Equation 1: 15 = Frank

(Frank) Equation 2: 2w + 1.5

joining equation 1 and 2

15 = 2w + 1.5

Solve

15 - 1.5 = 2w

13.5 = 2w ÷ 2

w = 6.75
