Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 +b^2 = 25^2
400 + b^2 = 625
-400 -400
b^2 = 225
b = √225
b = 15
Guppies: u
Goldfish: o
3 times as many guppies as goldfish
3*o = u (there are more guppies than goldfish)
o + u = 20
o = 20 - u
Substitute in (20 - u) for o in the first equation and solve:
3* (20 - u) = u
60 - 3u = u
60 = 4u
u = 15
He has 15 guppies. Then substitute in the number of guppies into either equation to find the number of goldfish:
o + u = 20
o + (15) = 20
o = 5

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are
12x + 4y = 152 ...........1
32x + 12y = 420 .....2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 to make coefficient of y same we have:
36x+12y= 456
32x+12y=420
Subtracting the two equations we have:
4x=36.
Dividing by 4 both sides
x= 9.
Substituting x value in equation 1
12(9) + 4y = 152
108+4y=152
Subtracting 108 both sides: 4y=44.
Dividing both sides by 4.
y=11.
cost of the vegetarian lunch is $11.
In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch.
