Answer:
Joseph caught 7 tadpoles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x
The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;
9(x + 3)
After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;
Hence, mathematically;
9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3
Multiply through be 2
9(x + 3) - 12x = 6
9x + 27 -12x = 6
9x -12x = 6-27
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Answer:
9(x-12)=24
Step-by-step explanation:
He would have $4131 left from $5400 with a decrease with 23.5%
2x + 4 = 4x
4 = 2x
x = 2
Hope that helps :)
