Meg has three dogs- Skippy, Gizmo, and Chopper. The sum of the dogs’ weights is 166 pounds. If you add three times Skippy’s weight to Gizmo’s weight, the sum is 2 pounds more that Choppers weight. If you subtract three-forths of Skippys weight from four times Gizmos weight, the result is equal to twice Chopper’s weight. How much does each dog weigh?

The mass of information is 3s the third piece of each dog be represented by their corresponding first piece of each dog be represented by their corresponding first piece of information tells us 166.
s+g+c= 166
g+3s = c+2
4g-3/4 s =2c
so
s+g+c = 166
3s+g-c = 2
3s-16g+8c = 0
so
2g+4c= 496
17g-9c = 2
so
34g + 68c = 8432
34g - 18c = 4
so
86c = 8428
c = 98
g = 52
s = 28
