Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon

The total number of fish the three boys caught is 16

<u>Solution:</u>

According to question,

Mike caught 1 pike and 4 salmon

Charlie caught 5 pike and 2 salmon

Paul caught half the number of pike that both Charlie and Mike caught combined, and 1 less salmon than Charlie caught

Pike caught by Paul = half of number of pike that both charlie and mike caught combined = \frac{1}{2} (5 + 1) = 3

Salmon caught by Paul = 1 less salmon than Charlie caught = 2 - 1 = 1

Thus, Paul caught 3 pike and 1 salmon

Total of numbers Pike caught by three boys are  

5 + 1 + 3 = 9 pikes

Total of numbers salmon caught by three boys are  

4 + 2 + 1 = 7 salmons

Hence , the total number of fish caught are

9 + 7 = 16 fishes

When you would not need to use the quadratic formula
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: When the quadratic equation  can be factored or solved by completing the square, you do not need to use the quadratic formula

Step-by-step explanation: In the form   ax² + bx + c

Whenever <em><u>a</u></em> is 1 (implied, no coefficient of x²) and the constant,  <u><em>c</em></u>, is a multiple of numbers whose sum or difference is equal to <u><em>b</em></u>, factoring is much quicker and easier than using the quadratic formula.

Even when there is a coefficient of x², there are procedures to find the factors and solve for x without resorting to the quadratic formula.

Find two consecutive even integers such that eight times the first equals seven times the second equals
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and x+2 be the two consecutive even integers

Then according to the given statement in the question

8x = 7(x+2)

<u>Distributive property </u>

8x=7x+14

<u>Subtraction Property of Equality</u>

8x-7x = 14+7x-7x

<u>Simplifying</u>

x = 14

So the first integer is 14 and second is:

x+2 = 14+2 = 16

Hence two consecutive even integers are 14 and 16 ..

Explain why the rules called the algebraic order of operations are necessary for computation
AfilCa [17]

The rules are necessary, so that there is agreement as to how to evaluate an expression. By having rules, and having everyone follow the rules, an expression can have only one single correct value. If there are no rules, then different people will interpret the expression differently, and will get different values for its evaluation.

The point (2,-3) lies in quadrant​
Novay_Z [31]

Hello there!

The point (2,-3) would lay in quadrant​ IV, or 4.

Basically:

Points that are (x, y) or positive x and positive y  ay in quadrant 1, or I.

Points that are (-x, y) or negative x and positive y lay in quadrant 2, or II.

Points that are (-x, -y) or negative x and negative y usually lay in quadrant 3, or III.

Points that are (x, -y) or positive x and negative y usually lay in quadrant 4, or IV.

I hope this was helpful! Have a great rest of your day :)
