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:
6 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you foil with 6 and 3 in the equation you get x squared + 3x - 18
Answer:
f(x) = ax + b;
f(0) = -5;
a·0 + b = -5;
b = -5;
f(1) = -3;
a·1 + (-5) = -3;
a - 5 = -3;
a = 5 - 3;
a = 2;
f(x) = 2x - 5;
