Did you manage to find out the answer? Even if not, don't worry, you are not alone. Many surfers reported that they were unable to get to a solution. Let's check according to the data in front of us.

First step:

Dog A + Dog B = 10

x+y = 10

Dog C + dog B = 20

z+y = 20

Dog C + dog A = 24 

z+x = 24

Second step:

x = 10-y

z = 20-y

(20-y) + (10-y) = 24

Third step:

20-y+10-y = 24

30-2y = 24

30-24 = 2y

6 = 2y

3 = y => B = 3

Fourth step:

x = 10-y = 10-3 = 7

z = 20-y = 20-3 = 17

Fifth step:

x+y+z = 7+3+17 = 27
