Jay caught 18 fish and Blair caught 9.
Here's why.

Jay caught 2 times as many as blair. So let's say the fish caught by blair is represented by the variable, x. The number of fish caught by Jay would then be 2x.
So, 27 is the number of fish they both caught together.  So then...
27=x+2x
This equation can be simplified to be 27=3x.
So, we'll need to find the value of x first. Divide each side by 3 to get the x by itself. 27/3 is 9. 3x/3 is x. So 9=x.
We now have the number of fish Blair caught, so to get the number jay caught, we double this number.  9 times 2 is 18, so Jay caught 18 fish and Blair caught 9.

Answer:

Not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. Also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. So proving is like doing science, it is science. That's why it is important to prove.

A set of equations is shown above. Which method eliminates one of the variables? A) Multiply equation A by -1/3 and add the resu
Paraphin [41]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying Equation A by (1/3) and adding the result to Equation B will do the trick.  Let's actually solve the problem!

Equation A:  (5/3)x + 3y = 12

Equation B:    4x     -  3y = 8

                    ---------------------------

                     (5/3 + 12/3)x = 15        Note how this has eliminated the variable

                            (17/3)x = 15           y.

                                   x = (3/17)(15)

The question is in the picture please help
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Claim 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Angle Theorem* tells you ...

... ∠RPQ = 1/2·∠ROQ

The multiplication property of equality tells you that multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 does not change the equality relationship.

... 2·∠RPQ = ∠ROQ

The symmetric property of equality says you can rearrange this to ...

... ∠ROQ = 2·∠RPQ . . . . the measure of ∠ROQ is twice the measure of ∠RPQ

_____

* You can prove the Inscribed Angle Theorem by drawing diameter POX and considering the relationship of angles XOQ and OPQ. The same consideration should be applied to angles XOR and OPR. In each case, you find the former is twice the latter, so the sum of angles XOR and XOQ will be twice the sum of angles OPR and OPQ. That is, angle ROQ is twice angle RPQ.

You can get to the required relationship by considering the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of linear angles. As a shortcut, you can use the fact that an external angle is the sum of opposite internal angles of a triangle. Of course, triangles OPQ and OPR are both isosceles.
