<span>Leah, Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish. So, x + 2x=27; Combine the like terms. So, 3x=27; Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught. So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught. Check: 9 +2(9)=27; 27=27.</span>
Answer:
Neither Troy nor Keith is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Neither Troy nor Keith is correct.
The value 0.9 is the same as the value 0.90.
The zeros after a decimal point are always insignificant unless they are followed by a number different from zero.
0.90 = 0.900 = 0.9000 = 0.90000 = ... = 0.9000000000
and all these can be easily written as 0.9, as the zeros after the decimal point do not change the value.
But 0.901, 0.9000004, 0.90002, and so on are all different, and the zeros are relevant, as they are followed by numbers different from zero.
