Answer:
The answer is explained below
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a word problem, therefore to solve it the statement have to be writing in form of an equation and then solved.
Let the number of fishes caught by Bryan's son be x fishes. Since Bryan caught as many fish as his son, Bryan caught x fishes
Let the number of fishes caught by Elton's son be y fishes. Since Elton caught three times as many fish as his son, Bryan caught 3y fishes
All together, they caught 25 fish
Therefore it can be represented by the equation:
x + x + y + 3y = 25
2x + 4y = 25
2x = 25 - 4y
x = (25 - 4y)/2
The number of fish caught by Bryan is half of the difference between the total fish caught and four times the number of fish caught by Elton son
