Answer:

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Bridget's fishes:

f ounces

2f ounces

3f+2 ounces

1/2f ounces

3/5f ounces

Total= f +2f + (3f+2) + 1/2f +3/5f

=3f + 3f + 2 + 5f+6f/10

=6f + 2 + 11f/10

=60f+11f/10 +2

=71/10f +2

Bridget's dad fishes

3f+2

4/5f

2f+4

1/2f

Total =(3f+2) + (2f+4) + 4/5f +1/2f

=3f+2+2f+4 + 8f+5f/10

=5f + 6 + 13/10f

= 50f+13f/10 + 6

=63/10f +6

Equate the total weight

71/10f +2=63/10f +6

Collect like terms

71/10f - 63/10f =6-2

71f-63f/10 = 4

8f/10=4

Cross product

8f=40

Divide both sides by 8

f=5

Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish = 3f +2

=3(5)+2

=15+2

=17 ounces

Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces

Solve the following quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.
sdas [7]
ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}

<span>5x^2-8x+5=0\to a=5;\ b=-8;\ c=5\\\\\Delta=(-8)^2-4\cdot5\cdot5=64-100=-36\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{-36}=6i

x_1=\dfrac{-(-8)-6i}{2\cdot5}=\dfrac{8-6i}{10}=\dfrac{4-3i}{5}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-8)+6i}{2\cdot5}=\dfrac{8+6i}{10}=\dfrac{4+3i}{5}

First of all we need to know that 1 yard has 3 feet inside of it 
but in order to find 24 yards we would have to multiply by 3 sooo
24 x 3 = 72
so that means there are 72 feet in 24 yards.
In other words the answer is D:)
