Total of 90 fish:

c + p = 90

Charlie gave 1/4 c to Peter.  Now

Charlie has c - (1/4) c

Peter has p + (1/4) c

Peter gave 2/5 of his to Charlie. Now

Peter has p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Charlie has c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

And then they had equal number:

c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )

Let's do the easy subtractions then multiply by 20 to clear the fractions,

(3/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = 3/5( p + (1/4) c )

15c + 8p + 2c = 12p + 3c

14c = 4p

7c = 2p

c + p = 90

2c + 2p = 180

2c + 7c = 180

9c = 180

c = 20

p = 70

Answer: Charlie started with 20, Peter with 70

Check:

Initially C:20, P:70

1/4(20)=5 to P

C:15, P:75

(2/5) 75 = 30 to C

C:45, P45

Good

The graph below shows the solution to which system of inequalities?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider option D. y\leq \frac{3x}{4}+10\,,\,y\leq \frac{-x}{2}-3

Take point (0,0)

On putting this point in inequation y\leq \frac{3x}{4}+10 , we get

0\leq 10 which is true . So, solution is region towards the origin i,e region below the line y= \frac{3x}{4}+10 including the line itself .

On putting (0,0) in inequation y\leq \frac{-x}{2}-3 , we get 0\leq -3 which is false , so solution is region away from the origin i.e region below line y= \frac{-x}{2}-3 including the line itself .

So, common solution to both the inequations is the shaded part in the given figure .

In other words, we can say that the graph shown in the given figure represents system of equations: y\leq \frac{3x}{4}+10\,,\,y\leq \frac{-x}{2}-3
