Chritian's Chihuaha, Princess, weighs 2 pounds. Molly's Pit Bull, Psycho, weighs 14 pounds. They each seem to be gaining about a pound a month. The Pit Bull will soon weigh three times more than the Chihuahua. How many pounds will Princess weigh then?
Princess = 6 and Psycho - 18

To find out how many pounds Princess will weigh when the Pit Bull is three times heavier, we need to determine the weight of the Pit Bull at that time and then divide it by 3.
Molly's Pit Bull, Psycho, is currently 14 pounds and gaining 1 pound every month. After n months, the Pit Bull's weight can be calculated using the formula:
Weight of Pit Bull = 14 + 1n
Since the Pit Bull will be three times heavier than the Chihuahua, we can set up the equation:
Weight of Pit Bull = 3 * Weight of Chihuahua
Substituting the respective values:
14 + 1n = 3 * 2
Now, solve for n:
14 + 1n = 6
1n = 6 - 14
1n = -8
n = -8/1
n = -8
Note: Since n represents the number of months, it cannot be negative in this context. It seems there may be an error in the given information or calculation. Please check the problem statement again to ensure accuracy.
