62 - 4 = 58
58 / 2 = 29
The width is 29.
The equation that would best describe the situation would be the first option. To solve this question, simply break down the question into sections and then use variables X and y to represent each of the things asked for in the problem. We know the following:
X = no of tetra fish
Y = no of goldfish
If there is twice as much goldfish than tetra fish, then it would be 2y.
X = 2Y.
Then knowing what X and y represent, find the equation that gives the total cost of fish he bought, knowing that 1.50 is for a goldfish and 2.00 is for a tetra fish.
Answer:
y = 102*x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=a*x
x: distance
y: calories
816=a*8
a= 816/8= 102
There is a way to do this algebraically using equations, but it is really messy so I am going to go over the way to do it. The way you do this is by finding whole numbers that multiply to make -192. Start with 1 and 192, 2 and 96, 3 and 64, etc and make the smaller number negative.
The reason why you make the smaller number negative is because we are looking for what numbers add together to make a positive number (10). If the bigger number was negative, then we would get a negative sum.
From what i could find, there aren't any whole numbers that satisfy this, and i doubt that the question would want you to find decimals for this.
The way to find this with equations (in short) is to have to variables, x and y, and make two equations. in this case x+y=10 and xy=-192. Solve one equation for a variable and then use substitution to plug that variable into the other equation. if you do this you get really long decimals.
