x-the  \ number \ of \ goldfishes \\ 3x-the \ number \ of \ guppy \ fishes \\\\ x+3x=20 \\\\ 4x=20 \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{20}{4}=5 } \\\\ 3*5\to\boxed{15 \ guppy \ fishes}

Let,
the number of guppies be x
the number of goldfish be y
Since, Ben has 3 times as many guppies as goldfish, we can write,
x = 3y.............................equation (1)
Also,
It is given that he as total of 20 fish. So, we can say that,
x + y = 20
3y + y= 20..........substituting value of x from equation (1)
4y = 20
Divide both sides by 4 to get y by itself,
y = 20 / 4
y = 5

Now, 
x = 3y
x = 3 * 5
x = 15

Since, number of guppies is x, we can say that he has 15  guppies

5. Simplify: 56 = 7 - 3 [4 + {8 - 4 ( 4 + 5 - 3 )}]​
shutvik [7]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

56=7-3[4+{8-4(4+5-3)}]

56=7-3[4+{4(4+5-3)}]

56=7-3[4+{16+20-12)}]

56=7-3[4+24]

56=4[28]

56=92

56-56=92-56

An airplane climbs at an angle of 16° with the ground. Find the ground
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

2403.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the length of the hypotenuse, and the base angle. To find the length of the base, we use the cosine of 16° since it is equal to the adjacent side length/ hypotenuse side length or cos 16°= x/2500. The isolate x by multiplying both sides by 2500. The cos 16° is around 0.96126, multiplied by 2500 (cos 16°(2500)) = 2403.1
