Answer:
Sadie weighs 61 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
Sadie's weight is x.
Buddy's weight is y.
Buddy weighs 14 pounds more than Sadie.
This means that [tex]y = x + 14[/tex]
Their total weight is 136 pounds.
This means that
[tex]x + y = 136[/tex]
Since [tex]y = x + 14[/tex]
[tex]x + x + 14 = 136[/tex]
[tex]2x = 122[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{122}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = 61[/tex]
Sadie weighs 61 pounds.
