No, the system is inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the last column is a pivot column, then that row gives an equation that looks something like 0x+0y+0z=1 , meaning , 0=1. Clearly, this is false.

So, the system of linear equations is inconsistent.

Paula has a dog that weighs 3 times as much as Carla's dog
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The weight of Paula's dog is 36 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we would draw one box for the weight of Carla's dog. Then we would draw 3 boxes for the weight of Paula's dog.

To find how much does Paula's dog weigh we divide the total weight of the dogs by the total number of boxes.

So then you would calculate 48 divided by 4.

The weight of Carla's dog is 12 pounds.

Therefore the weight of Paula's dog is 3x12=3x10+3x2=30+6=36 pounds.
