By moving the signs he actually changed the number itself. He changed -6 from a negative to a positive and 5 from a positive to a negative. Both equations give different answers.
Hopefully this helps :)
I'm pretty sure the answer is 12.
Answer:
Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces
Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Bridget's fishes:
f ounces
2f ounces
3f+2 ounces
1/2f ounces
3/5f ounces
Total= f +2f + (3f+2) + 1/2f +3/5f
=3f + 3f + 2 + 5f+6f/10
=6f + 2 + 11f/10
=60f+11f/10 +2
=71/10f +2
Bridget's dad fishes
3f+2
4/5f
2f+4
1/2f
Total =(3f+2) + (2f+4) + 4/5f +1/2f
=3f+2+2f+4 + 8f+5f/10
=5f + 6 + 13/10f
= 50f+13f/10 + 6
=63/10f +6
Equate the total weight
71/10f +2=63/10f +6
Collect like terms
71/10f - 63/10f =6-2
71f-63f/10 = 4
8f/10=4
Cross product
8f=40
Divide both sides by 8
f=5
Bridget's first fish =f = 5 ounces
Bridget's dad first fish = 3f +2
=3(5)+2
=15+2
=17 ounces
Bridget's dad first fish weighs 17 ounces
ANSWER: Paz have $267.30
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION
Let be Z for Zacarías and P for Pax
Z+P= 756.80
Z= 489.50
P=756.8 - Z
P=756.80 - 489.50
P= 267.30
B. 7 because 24 + 24 = 48 meaning 6 cars have been washed within 48 mins. 1 car can be washed in 8 mins. 48 + 8 = 56
