Juana and Diego Gonzales, ages six and four respectively, own a strong and stubborn puppy named Corporal. It is so hard to take Corporal for a walk that they devise a scheme to use two leashes. If Juana and Diego pull with forces of 23 lbs and 27 lbs,how hard is Corporal pulling if the puppy holds the children at a standstill? PLEASE SHOW WORK, i'd really like to learn how to do this. thanks so much! this is for a math class.

The total force Juana and Diego pull with is 23+27 = 50lbs.
They are not moving so Corporal must be pulling with an equal size force in the opposite direction.
So the answer is 50lbs.

You can't do it unless you know the angle between the leashes
