Answer:

  • 7 pounds of fish
  • 18.5 pounds of lobster

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...

  4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25

  4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify

  4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375

  x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75

The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.

If you are asking for the slope it is a zero slope because...

2-2 equals 0 and you don't need to solve the bottom because the top is a zero

but a horizontal slope is when the zero is on the bottom.

btw- I guarantee I am right because i am a Indian. My wisdom comes from God. Jesus Christ!!!!:):):)
