A+30 = 60
a = 30
a + 2b = 60
30+2b = 60
2b = 30
b = 15
5b - 5c = 60
5(15) - 5c = 60
5c = 15
c = 3
10c + d = 60
10(3) + d = 60
30 + d = 60
d = 30
2d + 6e = 180 - 60
2(30) + 6e = 120
6e = 60
e = 10
4f + 4e = 120
4f + 4(10) = 120
4f = 80
f = 20
That makes no sense. Can you rephrase the question?
Integers I believe :) hope this helps
1 Amberjack
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks
So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).
Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)
Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs.
To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252
