conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Brittany has 3 gerbils: Puffy, Muffy, and Scruffy. Puffy weighs 5 ounces more than Muffy. Muffy weighs 3 ounces less than Scruffy.  If Scruffy weighs 12 ounces, how much would the scale indicate, in ounces, if Brittany put Puffy and Muffy on the scale?
  Give me a detailed solution.
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Muffy weighs 12 - 3 = 9 ounces
  Puffy weighs 5 + 9 = 14 ounces.
  If Brittany weighs both Puffy and Muffy, the scale would read 9 + 14 = 23 ounces
