14x5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = 8 -----------(I)
x - 2y = -4 -----------(II)
Add equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated and we can get the value of 'x'
(I) x + 2y = 8
(II) <u>x - 2y = -4</u><u> </u>{Now add}
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 in equation (I)
2 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 2
2y = 6
y = 6/2
y = 3
1 Amberjack
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks
So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).
Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)
Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs.
To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252
