Answer: B. x, in the second equation
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system :
To apply the substitution method , first we need to select the best variable and a equation which is easy to simplify.
From the given system equation (2) have all the numbers which are multiples of 3.
Then we divide 3 on both sides of equation (2), we get
Therefore, the best variable to solve for and from what equation is x, in the second equation.
1 Amberjack
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks
So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).
Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)
Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs.
To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252
