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

Figure CDEF is a parallelogram.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
We see that CF and DE are parallel to each other, which means that they had the same length with each other, so:
6n-1=5n+9
Subtract 5n for both side
6n-1-5n=5n+9-5n
n-1=9
Add 1 for both side
n-1+1=9+1
n=10
CF=
6n-1
=6(10)-1
=60-1
=59
DE=
5n+9
=5(10)+9
=50+9
=59
CD/FE:
4n+2
=4(10)+2
=42
True/False:
n=10 True
n=7 False
CF=59 True
FE=42 True
CD=30 False. As a result, n=10;CF=59; and FE=42 is your final answer. Hope it help!
