<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

x = 16.6666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

24x4 = 96

18 x 3 = 54

4x2 = 8

96-54+8= 50

then subtract 7 from both sides and get -y = 7

Divide both sides by -1 and get y = -7

Hope this helps :)
