Answer:
133 fishes
Step-by-step explanation:
Units of food A = 400 units
Units of food B = 400 units
Fish Bass required 2 units of A and 4 units of B.
Fish Trout requires 5 units of A and 2 units of B.
i. For food A,
total units of food A required = 2 + 5
= 7 units
number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 2 x 
= 114.3
number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 114
ii. For food B,
total units of food B required = 4 + 2
= 6 units
number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 2 x 
= 133.3
number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 133
Thus, the maximum number of fish that the lake can support is 133.
Answer:
(4, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + y = 14 → (1)
7x - 4y = 20 → (2)
Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides
y = 14 - 3x → (3)
Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)
7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x - 56 + 12x = 20
19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )
19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2
solution is (4, 2 )
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
For the first tree
let the expression for the height be
y=4+x--------------1
where y= the total height
4= the initial height
x= the number of years
For the second tree, the expression is
y=12+0.5x-------------2
Equate 1 and 2
4+x=12+0.5x
x-0.5x=12-4
0.5x= 8
x= 8/0.5
x=16
Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height
