John caught 18 fishes and Peter caught 30 fishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Fishes caught by John = x

Fishes caught by peter  = y

Total fishes caught = 48

According to given statement;

x+y=48    Eqn 1

x=\frac{3}{5}y   Eqn 2

Putting  Eqn 2 in Eqn 1;

\frac{3}{5}y+y=48

Multiplying each term by 5;

5*\frac{3}{5}y+5*y=48*5\\3y+5y=240\\8y=240

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{240}{8}\\y=30

Putting y=30 in Eqn 1

x+30=48\\x=48-30\\x=18

John caught 18 fishes and Peter caught 30 fishes.

What is the square root of 67
Inessa [10]

Every positive number has two square roots.

The square roots of  67  are  8.185... (rounded) and  -8.185... (rounded) .

Both are irrational numbers, so they can't be completely written down
with digits.  No matter how many decimal places I write, it can never be
enough, because these decimals go on forever and never end.

Need help solving for x
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle. To solve for any of the side length of such triangle, apply the trigonometry ratio formula which can easily be remembered as SOHCAHTOA.

SOH is Sin θ = opposite/hypothenuse,

CAH is Cos θ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA is Tan θ = Opposite/adjacent

Thus, in the right triangle given, we have:

θ = 38°

Opposite side to the given angle = x

Hypotenuse = 15

We're going to use, sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(38) = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for x

15*sin(38) = x

15*0.616 = x

9.24 = x

<em>x ≈ 9.2 (to nearest tenth)</em>
