There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium
- Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be x
- Let the number of octopi in the tank be y
If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;
- x + y = 30 ....................... 1
If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:
- 5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2
From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3
Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:
5(30-y) + 8y = 171
150 - 5y + 8y = 171
3y = 171 - 150
3y = 21
y = 7
Recall that x = 30 - y
x = 30 - 7
x = 23
Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

Part A:
Area of a circle is pi*radius^2
a=3.14*1^2
a=3.14
Part B:
Area of a rectangle is length*width
a=5*7
a=35
Part C:
Area of the shaded part would be the area of the rectangle - the area of the circle
a=35-3.14
a=31.86
Answer:
x= 16 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the lengths of the two pieces then:
1.) x + y = 36
2.) x : y = 4 : 5 cross multiply
3.) 5x = 4y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 36
5x = 4y
we find
x = 16 ft
y = 20 ft
Answer: C - Only the fifth-grade data points are distributed fairly evenly.
Step-by-step explanation: Just took the test and that is the right anwser.
You would want to divide the 86 feet by the 8 artist so you would do..
86 feet / 8 artists = 10.75 feet per artist
For the second part 10.75 would fall between 10 and 11
