L = 2J
\n" ); document.write( "L + J = 96
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of L from the first equation into the second.
\n" ); document.write( "L + J = 96
\n" ); document.write( "(2J) + J = 96
\n" ); document.write( "3J = 96
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 3
\n" ); document.write( "J = 32
\n" ); document.write( "Janessa's dog weighs 32lb. Latisha's dog weighs twice that, or 64lb.
\n" ); document.write( "32 + 64 = 96
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
