The rule for the number of fish in a home aquarium is 1 gallon of water for each inch of fish length. Marta's aquarium holds 33

gallons of water and Hank's aquarium hold 45 gallons of water. The aquarium holds two types of fish, fish A and fish B. If Marta bought 3 of fish A and 2 of fish B, and Hank bought 3 of fish A and 4 of fish B, how long is fish A and how long is fish B?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A: 7 inches
  • B: 6 inches
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.

If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...

... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish

... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

... 2B = 12

... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2

Using this value in the first equation, we have ...

... 3A + 2·6 = 33

... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.

So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]

If the x-axis <u>does not have to</u> follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's  [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]

y = 7x + 50

y = 2x + 175

First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15      Then draw a straight line.

The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225)  The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225

Michele is starting a new pool-cleaning business. It costs her $85 to purchase supplies. Michele charges $40 each time she clean
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of purchasing supplies = $85

Cost charged for cleaning a pool = $40

Let,

x be the number of pools cleaned.

y be the profit

Profit = Cost of pools cleaned - purchase price of supplies

y = 40x - 85

Hence,

Option A : y = 40x - 85 is the correct answer.

Suppose the average temperature for a 4‐day period in Chicago, Illinois, is ‐8Ԭ. After the next day, the 5‐day average is ‐9Ԭ. W
exis [7]

Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Average temperature for a period of 4 days = - 8

Average temperature for a 5 day period = - 9

Temperature on the 5th day:

(total temp for the 4 days + 5th day temperature) / 5 = - 9

Let 5th day temperature = x

Total temperature for the 4 days = 4 * - 8 = - 32

(-32 + x) / 5 = - 9

-32 + x = - 45

x = - 45 + 32

x = - 13

A circle's radius that has an initial radius of 0 cm is increasing at a constant rate of 7 cm per second. Write a formula to exp
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

r = 7t

or not mathematically,

r(t) = 7t

r(t) means, r, which is a function of t.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial size of the radius = 0 cm, at t = 0 s

Rate of increase of the radius of the circle = 7 cm/s

dr/dt = 7

dr = 7 dt

∫ dr = 7 ∫ dt

r = 7t + C (C is the constant of integration)

At t = 0, r = 0,

0 = 0 + C

C = 0

r = 7t.

r(t) = 7t
