Answer:
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of:
Orange goldfish = x
Black gold fish = y
Anna has a total of 36 goldfish in her aquarium, some are orange and some are black.
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
The number of orange goldfish is 7 more than twice the number of black goldfish.
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2
We can rewrite this as:
x - 2y = 7..... Equation 2
The system of equations below that can be used to describe the number of black and orange goldfish in Anna's aquarium is :
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2

For this case the area is given by:
A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722
Rewriting we have:
616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722
x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0
x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
x1 = 2.04
x2 = -52.04
We take the positive root:
x = 2.04 inches:
Answer:
The width of the border to the nearest inch is:
x = 2inches
Answer:
28.8 or 28 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is out of 100. We have to convert 8 3/4 into a percentage. 8 3/4 can also be written as an improper fraction 35/4. Now we have to make the denominator 100. We already knoe that 4 multiplied by 25 equals 100, then we do the same to the numerator. 35 multiplied by 25 gets us to 125. Now we got 125/100. Now since we converted the fracrion into a percentage, now what we do is divide 36 by 125% and that will get you to 28.8 or 28 8/10.
To double check your answer, you can multiply 28.8 by 125% and you will get 36.
