Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of

fish did he buy?
Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of angelfish Yves bought and y represents the number of parrotfish he bought?




x + y = 6
y = 420x

x + 6y = 420
y = 6x

x – y = 420
y = 6x

x + y = 420
y = 6x

Answer: D is the right equation.


Step-by-step explanation:

Yves total number of fish is 420

x and y represent the number of fish

^ x + y = 420  (we know the equation is an addition form because of the key word  ''and'')

Then it says ''he bought 6 times as many parrot-fish (y) AS angelfish (x)

^ y = 6x

1)421x=6
   x=70

2)x+6(6x)=420
   x+36x=420
   37x=420
    x=11

3)x-6x=420
   5x=420
   x=84

4)x+6x=420
   7x=420
    x=60

Guys help me please ,how to solve it? i need a solution
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

well, x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

EB Is parallel to DC , so

Angle AEB = Angle ADE

( because they are corresponding angle pair )

Angle ABE = Angle ACD

( because they are corresponding angle pair )

triangle ADC Is similar to triangle AEB

(By AA similarity criteria )

hence AE / ED = AB / BC ( by CPCT )

so 24/10 = 12/x

=》 24/12= 10/x

=》 x = 5

okay i hope u got it

Solve the equation <br> y-x=17<br> y=4x+2
gogolik [260]
Y-x =17
y = -x + 17

substitute this into the second equation

y = 4x + 2
-x + 17 = 4x + 2
0= 5x -15
15/5 = 5x/5
3 = x
