<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.
