Answer:

15 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

let the current weight of the puppy be X, the  initial weight of the puppy is 4lb or [tex]\frac{2}{3}X-6\ lb[/tex], (6 lb less 2/3 X) .

#We equate the current weight to the initial weight to determine X:

[tex]4\ lb=\frac{2}{3}X-6\ lb\\\\10 \ lb=\frac{2}{3}X\\\\X=15[/tex]

Hence, the current weight of the puppy is 15 lb
