Answer:

72 lbs

Explanation:

Tail weight is TW.

Head weight is HW.

Body weight is BW

TW=9 lbs.

HW=TW+(BW/2)

BW=TW+HW

[tex]TW=9\\HW=TW+(BW/2)\\BW=TW+HW\\BW=HW+9[/tex]

Since HW=BW/2+9 inserting it in BW=HW+9

[tex]BW=9+(BW/2)+9\\BW=18+(BW/2)\\BW-BW/2=18\\\\BW/2=18\\BW=36\\Total weight=BW+HW+TW[/tex]

Inserting BW value in HW=9+BW/2

[tex]HW=9+(36/2)\\HW=27\\TW=9\\Total Weight=36+27+9\\Total Weight=72 lbs[/tex]
