Your formula for this is

and

. Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor. When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27. The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.
Answer:
Fish A is 4 inches.
Fish B is 5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
22=3a+2b
and
32=3a+4b
So,
a=4 and b=5
More than means to add.
Quotient means to divide.
4 + (12/x)
0.5(2x+2)=-4
Multiply by 2 on both sides
2x+2=-8
Subtract 2 on both sides
2x=-10
Divide by 2 on both sides
x=-5
