Answer:
<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We call the following variables:
x = number of fish Ally caught
y = number of fish Beck caught
They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:
x + y = 75 [1]
If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:
3y = 2x + 75 [2]
From [1]:
x = 75 - y [3]
Substituting in [2]:
3y = 2(75 - y) + 75
Operating:
3y = 150 - 2y + 75
Simplifying:
5y = 225
Dividing by 5:
y = 45
Beck actually caught 45 fish
Answer:
7y - 28
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multply 7 with inside parenthesis you will get 7y - 28.
Answer:
The dimensions are (7m-3) by (7m-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the area of the rectangular field to be:
We need to factorize this expression.
Let us rewrite to obtain:
We can easily see that the expression is actually a perfect square trinomial.
This gives us:
Or
Answer:
176
Step-by-step explanation:
The decimal approximations are:
The square root of 5 is about 2.2
The square root of 8 is about 2.8
pi is about 3.14
2 square roots of 5 are about 4.4
The numbers are also placed in order from least to greatest.
