Answer: The weight of blue marlin= 252 pounds

The weight of amber-jack = 21 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of blue marlin and y be the weigh of amber-jack.

According to the give question , we have the following system of equations :

x=12y------------(1)\\\\x+y=273----------(2)

Substitute the value of x from equation (1) in (2), we get

12y+y=273\\\\ 13y=273

Divide both sides by 13 , we get

y= 21

Put value of y in (1), we get

x=12(21)=252

Hence, the weight of blue marlin= 252 pounds

The weight of amber-jack = 21 pounds

if a, b, and c are prime numbers, do (a b) and c have a common factor that is greater than 1? (1) a, b, and c are all different
klio [65]

If a,b, and c are prime numbers, do (a*b) and c have a common factor that is greater than 1

(1) a,b, and c are all different prime numbers

(2) c≠2

1. Let's assume values of 1,3 and 5 to a, b, and c respectively

a b = 1*3 = 3

3 and 5 do not have any common factor aside 1

Let's assume values of 1,3 and 2 to a,b and c respectively

a *b = 1*3 = 3

3 and 2 does not have a common factor aside 1

2. c \neq 2

Let's assume values of 2,7 and 3 to a b and c response

a * b = 2 *7 = 14

14 and 3 does not have a common factor aside 1
