Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Answer:

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75 [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75 [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Two people start from the same point. One walks east at 4 mi/h and the other walks northeast at 8 mi/h. How fast is the distance

Answer:

5.89 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using different methods. I will use vectors since it's the simplest way in which we can solve it. This can be solved by using related rates of change though.

First, we start by drawing a diagram with the velocity vectors.

A= velocity of the first person

B= velocity of the second person

C= velocity in which they are moving away from each other.

Since there is no acceleration in the problem, we can suppose we are talking about constant speeds, so the velocity at which they are moving away from each other will always remain constant. (It doesn't matter what time it is, the velocity will always be the same)

Having said this we can solve this problem by using the components, by using law of cosines or graphically. I will use law of cosines. The idea is to find the length of side c.

Law of cosines:

$C^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}-2ABcos \gamma$

so we can solve the formula for C so we get:

$C=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}-2ABcos \gamma}$

and now we can substitute the values we know:

$C=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(8)^{2}-2(4)(8)cos 45^{o}}$

$C=\sqrt{16+64-32\sqrt{2}}$

$C=\sqrt{80-32\sqrt{2}} mph$

if we want an exact answer, then that will be the exact answer, which approximates to:

C=5.89 mph

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify first what is in the parenthesis before distributing the exponent outside would help.

Remember that negative exponents simply means that their on the wrong side of the fraction. So if you find a variable with a negative exponent as a numerator, you bring them down and when it is found as a denominator, you bring them up.

Also when you distribute your exponents, you always multiply it to each exponent inside the parenthesis.

Look at the attached picture for the solution
