Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is <u>1 and  24</u> respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is <u>3 and 12 </u>respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let  the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting  y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils
