<PRE><B>Question 341621</B>
The kitten and the bunny weighted 7 pounds.
The kitten and the puppy weighted 8 pounds.
The bubby and the puppy weighed 9 pounds. 
What is the weight of the puppy?
--------------
Equations:
k + b = 7
k + p = 8
b + p = 9
-----------------
Rearrange:
K + b +0 = 7
k + 0 +p = 8
0 + b +p = 9
----------------
Solve with any method you know to get:
k = 3
b = 4
p = 5
