So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
1/3 of $288 is $96 So, therefore Shally had $96 at first.
But They both didn't have the same amount of money after too because:
1/3 of $288 is $96
$96 + $68 = $164 So Shally has $164
Now, $288 - $96 = $192. So Katherine has $192
So therefore they did not have the same amount of money but 1/3 of $288 is $96
Answer:
y = 4/5x-18/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope from the given points (-3,-6) (2,-2)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-2 - -6)/(2 - -3)
(-2+6)/( 2+3)
4/5
The slope intercept form of an equation is
y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 4/5 x +b
Substitute a point into the equation to find b
-6= 4/5(-3) +b
-6= -12/5 +b
Add 12/5 to each side
-6 +12/5 = -12/5 +12/5 +b
Get a common denominator
-30/5 + 12/5 = b
-18/5 =b
The equation is
y = 4/5x-18/5
4.567 inches should be the answer
