Answer:

Bobby Joe caught 34 fishes

Billy Ray caught 17 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fish Bobby Joe caught = y

Let the number of Billy Ray caught = x

Total number of fish caught = 51 fishes

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

Billy Ray caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe.

y = x - 17

Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught.

Substitute x - 17 for y in Equation 1

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

x + (x - 17) = 51

x + x - 17 = 51

2x = 51 - 17

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Hence, Bobby Joe caught 17 fishes

x + y = 51

17 + y = 51

y = 51 - 17

y = 34

Hence, Billy ray caught 34 fishes

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."
Mariana [72]
You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.

Which of the following could be the equation for a parabola that opens down with the vertex (-11,-28)?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:y=-5(x+11)^2 -28

Step-by-step explanation: Okay think about what you know about translations and transformations of parent functions. In this case, the parent function is x2. So what now?

First, the problem states that the parabola opens DOWN. This means that you should look for a negative leading coefficient. This narrows your options down to C or D. (-5 is the leading coefficient)

Now starting with the x2, the vertex would be at (0,0), but in this problem it is at (-11,-28). That means it was TRANSLATED 11 spots in the negative x-direction and 28 spots in the negative y-direction.

Look at your options, when a number is being added directly unto the x variable, such as in answer C, it moves in the negative x-direction. This tells you that C has to be your answer.

I hope that helps!
