Answer:

  • amberjack, 21 lbs
  • kingfish, 42 lbs
  • white marlin, 84 lbs
  • tarpon, 105 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k, a, m, t represent the weights of the kingfish, amberjack, marlin, and tarpon, respectively. The problem statement tells us ...

  • k = 2a
  • m = 2k
  • t = 5a
  • k + a + m + t = 252

Using substitution, we can rewrite the last equation as ...

... (2a) + (a) + 2(2a) + (5a) = 252

... 12a = 252 . . . . . collect terms

... a = 21 . . . . . . . . .divide by 12

Then k = 2a = 42; m = 2k = 84; t = 5a = 105.

Which of these points lies on the line described by the equation below? <br><br>y + 11 = -14(x - 2)
ladessa [460]
Here, we need to check for all pairs by substituting the value of x & y, 
1) 11 + 11 = -14(-2-2)
 sides are not equal.

2) -11 + 11 = -14(2 - 2)
 0 = 0
  sides are equal.

In Short, Your Answer would be Option 2

Hope this helps!

What is the first step when solving the following inequality x+2/-5&lt;4? Group of answer choices A. Add 5 to both sides and DO
LiRa [457]

Assuming we're dealing with \frac{x+2}{-5} < 4, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.

We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.

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

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.

An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5

What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below

  • -2x < 10
  • 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
  • -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
  • 2x > -10
  • x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
  • x > -5

What is the square feet of 71inces x 36inches?
Setler [38]
71 inches X 36 inches = 2556 sq inches

convert sq.feet to sq.inches.

12 sq. feet = 1 sq. inch

2556 sq. feet × 1 sq. inch ÷ 12 sq. feet = 213 sq. inches (sq. feet ÷ sq. feet cancels out the feet variable leaving sq. inch)
