Answer:
The population is 105127 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
If t is the number of years from the present time, it only makes sence to put a 1 there, as that will give you the answer for the current year.
Let us assume the weight of the red snapper caught by Dana = X
The weight of the tuna caught by Jason was 3 times the weight of the snapper caught by Dana. Then,
Weight of the tuna caught by Jason = 3X
Weight of the sailfish caught by Murray is 12 times the weight of the red snapper caught by Dana. Then,
Weight of the sailfish caught by Murray = 12X
The combined weight of the 3 fishes caught = 208 pounds.
Then,
X + 3X + 12X = 208
16X = 208
X = 208/16
= 13
So the red snapper weighed 13 pounds
The weight of the tuna caught by Jason = 3X
= 3 * 13
= 39
So the tuna weighed 39 pounds.
X = 7/2 or 3 1/2
2x + 5 =12
