x^2+(x+1)^2=61\\ x^2+x^2+2x+1-61=0\\ 2x^2+2x-60=0\ \ /:2\\ x^2+x-30=0\\ \Delta=1^2-4\cdot(-40)=1+120=121\ \ \Rightarrow\ \  \sqrt{\Delta} =11\\ \\ x_1= \frac{-1-11}{2} = \frac{-12}{2} =-6,\ \ \ \ x_2= \frac{-1+11}{2} = \frac{10}{2}=5\\ \\Ans.:x=-6

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 39
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: Fish A: 9 inches ; Fish B: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be turned into a systems of equation, where x equals the length of fish A and y equals the length of fish B:

3x + 2y = 39 → -3x - 2y = -39

3x + 4y = 51 → 3x +4y = 51

Combine: 0 + 2y = 12 → y = 6 inches.

Plug back in: 3x + 2(6) = 39 → 3x = 27 → x = 9 inches.
