When Stacy arrived home from school she found that someone, she suspected her mean brother Dan, had left the yard gate open and her dog Max had disappeared. She immediately called the local S.P.C.A. and the man on the phone asked her to describe Max. Stacy said, "He is a black and white spotted English Setter. His left eye is black and his right eye is white." At that moment Dan grabbed the phone from her hand and said, "Max's head is 6 inches long, his tail is as long as his head plus half the length of his body, and his body is as long as the head and tail combined." How long is Max?
