Jay and Blair went fishing. Together they catch 27 fish. Jay catch 2 times as many fish as Blair. How many fish did Jay and Blai r each catch. Write an equation and solve. Explain your work.
2 answers:
27=2J+B
you can guess and check: 27=2(9)+9
J=jay
B=blair
We can solve this using the equation 2x+x=27. The 2x represents Jay, and the x represents Blair. We can simplify the equation to 3x=27. 27/3=9. Blair caught 9 fish, and Jay caught 18 fish. I hope this helps!

Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for the nth term (an) = a1 + d(n - 1 ) where a1 = the first term and d = common difference.
So here the 13th term = 3 + 3(13 - 1)
= 3 + 3*12
= 39 (answer).
