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:
56 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
If 
of all eggs are green, 
of all are blue, then
of all eggs are red.
We know that there are 26 red eggs
![26\text{ eggs }-\dfrac{13}{28}\\ \\x\text{ eggs }- 1[=\dfrac{28}{28}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=26%5Ctext%7B%20eggs%20%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B13%7D%7B28%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%5Ctext%7B%20eggs%20%7D-%201%5B%3D%5Cdfrac%7B28%7D%7B28%7D%5D)
Make a proportion

Answer:
xy = - 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that
(x - y)² = x² - 2xy + y² ← substitute given values, that is
9² = 27 - 2xy
81 = 27 - 2xy ( subtract 27 from both sides )
54 = - 2xy (divide both sides by - 2 )
- 27 = xy
