Question

Melissa got two puppies, Ben and Sadie.

When she got them, Sadie was 5 pounds
less than Ben. If Sadie's weight quadrupled
after one year, write an expression using
parentheses to show Sadie's weight. Then,
give the simplified expression.

x = 4y - 20

Explanation:

x = Sadie's weight

y = Ben's weight

x = 4(y - 5)

x = 4y - 20
