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
