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:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

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

Answer:

  30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the lengths are measured when B lies between A and C on a line, the segment addition theorem applies:

  AC = AB +BC

  42 = AB + 12 . . . . . fill in the given numbers

  30 = AB . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

The length of AB is 30 inches.

What is the image point of (0,-6) after the transformation D 1/2 or y-axis?
rewona [7]
I think you multiply 1/2 by the x and y point

1/2(0)= 0
1/2(-6)= -3

Given that <br> a:b = 4:5 <br> and <br> b:c=3.2 <br> find the ratio a:b:c in its simplest form
alex41 [277]
A:b = 4:5
b:c=3:2
b was 5 then it was 3, so you have to find the common multiple which is 15.
you’d have to times the 4 (a) by 3 since that 5x3 is 15
you’d have to times the 2 (c) by 5 since 5x3 is 15 again.
therefore the answer would be
a:b:c
12:15:10
I hope this makes sense it was kinda hard to explain sorry :)
