Question
A dog is 3/8lb heavier than a squirrel. The squirrel is 3/8lb lighter than the ferret. If the weight of the ferret is 1/2lb , find the weight of the dog?
( x+3/8)+(1/2-3/8)+1/2 was the equation I came up with
( x+3/8)+(1/2-3/8)+1/2 was the equation I came up with

You did not come up with an equation. You have an expression, and it does not provide a value for x.
d = s + 3/8
s = f - 3/8
so, d = f - 3/8 + 3/8 = f
the dog weighs the same as the ferret, or 1/2 lb
must all be babies, eh? Or maybe small plush toys.
