Question 293502: A 12-lb puupy is gaining weight at 2/3lb per week. How much more time will it take for the puppy's weight to exceed 37 2/3 lb? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's have "x" be the time involved so the equation would be:
2/3(x)+12>113/3 Multiply both sides by 3 to get:
2x+36>113 Subtract 36 from both sides to get:
2x>77 Divide by 2 to get:
x>38.5 weeks
Make sense?
