There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium
- Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be x
- Let the number of octopi in the tank be y
If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;
- x + y = 30 ....................... 1
If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:
- 5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2
From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3
Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:
5(30-y) + 8y = 171
150 - 5y + 8y = 171
3y = 171 - 150
3y = 21
y = 7
Recall that x = 30 - y
x = 30 - 7
x = 23
Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
128 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is given by
A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height
A =1/2( 10+22) * 8
A = 1/2 (32)8
= 128
You have to do 2 5/8 4 times but in a picture or scrap
Hey there!
Let's solve the equation.
20=6x+14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
6=6x
Divide 6 on both sides.
x=1
This is false.
I hope this helps!
