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.
-2a-9=6a+15
Move 6a to the other side. Sign changs from +6a to -6a.
-2a-6a-9=6a-6a+15
-2a-6a-9=15
-8a-9=15
Move -9 to the other side. Sign changes from -9 to +9.
-8a-9+9=15+9
-8a=15+9
-8a=24
Divide both sides by -8
-8a/-8=24/-8
a=-3
Answer: a=-3
18·8.7= 156.6
23·56.1= 1290.3
47·5.92=278.24
