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.

fredd [130]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The projectile motion of Jenny's dive can be represented by -at^2 + v_0t + h_0 where a is acceleration, v_0 is velocity, t is time, and h_0 is initial height.

Jenny's vertical height above the water is represented by -16x^2+12x+10. 10 is h_0 and is Jenny's initial height.

What is 8% of 37...........
docker41 [41]

Answer:

2.96

Explanation:

37/x=100/8

(37/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

37=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x

37/12.5=x  

2.96=x  

x=2.96
