Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

What is the approximate square root of 12 to the nearest integer
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

3² =  9, so  √9 = 3

4² = 16, so √16 = 4.

12 is closer to 9 than to 16, so √12 is closer to √9 than to √16.

√12 ≈ 3 (to the closest integer)
