Albert bought some fish at a grocery store at $2 per pound for salmon and $4 per pound for catfish. He spent a total of $12 on s

Gemiola [76]

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Let c represent the amount of catfish in pounds and s represent the amount of salmon in pounds.

He spent a total of $12 on salmon and catfish and bought a total of 4 pounds. Hence:

c + s = 4 (1)

4c + 2s = 12 (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

c = 2, s = 2

Find the discriminant to determine the number of solutions for the quadratic equation a^2-5a=6

Bingel [31]

A^2-5a = 6
a^2-5a-6 = 0
Discriminant = (-5)^2-4(1)(-6) = 49
Discriminant is positive so there are two solutions

Expand the following 5(2x-4)

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5*2= 10 then add the x at the end

5*4=20

then you divide both sides by 10

(10x/10)- (20/10)

x= 2

or if your rewriting it then:

(5*2x)- (5*4)=?

Hope this helped :D
