The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.
60% of the fish are yellow.
To find:
How many green fish are in the aquarium?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.
60% of the fish are yellow.
So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.
Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.
So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.
Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish
⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3
⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5
⇒ 3x = 2x + 15
⇒ 3x - 2x = 15
⇒ x = 15
Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6
Answer:
There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
x=0 is an undefined slope(straight line vertically)
We need the line to pass through the point (4,3)
So, we just take the x coordinate from the equation and make it also have an undefined slope.
x = 4
Answer:
The triangle should be 16 inches wide.
Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:
- One of the legs measures 12 inches.
- The hypotenuse is 20 inches.
We need to solve for b. Solving for a while b is 12 would also be acceptable.

We will use the first equation.


The triangle should be 16 inches wide.
