Answer:

20 blue fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of blue fish = x

Number of red fish = x+10

Red fish = 60% of total = 0.6

Total fish = x+x+10 = 2x+10

0.6 = (x+10)/(2x+10)

Solve for x:

1.2x+6 = x+10

0.2x = 4

x = 20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

They are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, the angle we are given is in between the two defined sides(AB and BC with angle B). If these triangles were similar, we would see this with the SAS postulate.

In triangle KLJ, the angle is not in between the two sides, so they are not similar according to any of these two postulates.

Which angles form a linear pair? AnglePRL and AngleLRM AngleORP and AngleMRN AngleMRN and AngleNRO AngleLRP and AngleORP

Andrew [12]

Answer: C (AngleMRN and AngleNRO)

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are linear if they are adjacent angles (angles next to each other) formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

AngleMRN and AngleNRO together is 180 degrees

I'm not very good at explaining but hope this helps ! :)
