Answer:

55 lb  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O = the weight of Ox

and T = the weight of Tiny

We have two conditions:

(1)     O = 6T

(2) 410 = O + 80     Subtract 80 from each side

(3)    O = 330           Substitute (3) into (1)

   330 = 6T              Divide each side by 6

       T = 55

Tiny weighs 55 lb.

Answer: Tiny weighs 55 pounds.


Step-by-step explanation:

O=6T

O+80=410

O=410-80=330

330=6T

T=330/6=55
