It’s algebra.

What do you think it is.

Dog is 10 more than cat and together equal 24.
What two numbers are 10 apart and add up to 24? 17 plus 7.
So, dog is 17 and cat is 7.
Dog plus rabbit is 20. 20 less 17 is 3.
So rabbit is 3.
17 plus 7 plus 3 is 27.

That took me about a minute to do in my head, and I have no idea how to do algebra.

why do you need all the algebra. you know from the from the question that c has to be 4 greater than r. What 2 numbers add up to 10 where one number is 4 greater than the other. the answer is 7 and 3. So C is 7 and R is 3. since c is 7...d has to be 17 to add up to 24. Add all 3 together and you get 27...easy peasy

Yep, I did something similar. Was easy to figure out in my head without resorting to algebra.

The cat’s weight is entirely dependent upon whether or not it is sitting on your lap or not.

If it digs in with its claws it will momentarily become weightless as it follows a ballistic arc after being tossed across the room.

They weigh nothing in the vacuum of space

I didn't use algebra.

I made three rectangles with the weights in them and worked out the percentages of overlap. Cat = 7 Rabbit = 3 Dog = 17 = 27

Thank you for posting this question. Sometimes we need to take a break and do something different.

Yes, it was a simple as that with no equation.

C + R = 10
D + R = 20
D + C = 24
D + (10 - R) = 24
D = 20 - R
20 - R + 10 - R = 24
30 - 2R = 24
2R = 8
R = 4
D= 16
C = 6

Tl = 26

Repeal 16, 17, and 19. 19 made socialism inevitable.

Is this the weight before my dog rips they head off of the rabbit?

Algebra? Wouldn’t simple arithmetic do the job?

If Trump and Biden got 538 electoral college votes and Biden stole 100, why is he not on trial?
