Answer:
- amberjack, 21 lbs
- kingfish, 42 lbs
- white marlin, 84 lbs
- tarpon, 105 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k, a, m, t represent the weights of the kingfish, amberjack, marlin, and tarpon, respectively. The problem statement tells us ...
- k = 2a
- m = 2k
- t = 5a
- k + a + m + t = 252
Using substitution, we can rewrite the last equation as ...
... (2a) + (a) + 2(2a) + (5a) = 252
... 12a = 252 . . . . . collect terms
... a = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 12
Then k = 2a = 42; m = 2k = 84; t = 5a = 105.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
width = x
length= x + 5
a) x + 5
b) x * (x+5) = 300
x^2 + 5x = 300
x^2 + 5x - 300 = 0
Δ = 25 + 1200 = 1225
width = (-5 + 35)/2 = 15 cm
lenght = 15 + 5 = 20 cm
