Darlene's dog weighed 5 times as much as leah's dog. together, the dogs weighed 84 pounds. how much did each dog weigh? write an equation and solve

Let d = Darlene's dog's weight
let l = Leah's dog's weight
 d = 5l
d + l = 84
 so, 5l + l = 84, which means 6l= 84   
so, l = 84/6 = 14d = 5(14) = 70    
Darlene's dog = 70 lbs, Leah's dog = 14 lbs

The second step on the test was the move he was supposed to

How many shares did he have to begin with?
