Step-by-step explanation:


abiolataiwo2015

If their total weight is 136 pounds, sadie weigh 61 pounds.

Let the weight of Sadie=x

Let the weight of Buddy=y

Hence:

y=x+14

Total weight= x +y=136 pounds

Formulate

14+2×x=136

x+x+14=136

2x=136-14

2x=122

Divide both side by 2x

x=122/2

x=61 pounds

Inconclusion If their total weight is 136 pounds, sadie weigh 61 pounds.
