Answer-

The weight of his dog is 96 pounds.

Solution-

Let's assume, weight of the Dylan's pet rabbit = x pounds, so weight of the Dylan's dog = 12x pounds,

The dog and rabbit weigh 104 pounds altogether, so

[tex]\Rightarrow x+12x=104[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 13x=104[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{104}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=8[/tex]

So, the weight of rabbit is 8 pounds, and the weight of his dog is 8×12 = 96 pounds.
