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

Beck caught 45 fish.

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

Orlov [11]

Answer:

920 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Top: 20 * 17 = 340

Side triangles: 8 * 15 / 2 = 60

2 side triangles: 60 * 2 = 120

Back rectangle: 8 * 20 = 160

Bottom rectangle: 15 * 20 = 300

All of them: 340 + 120 + 160 + 300 = 920

Help me out please.<br><br> i need to find the function rule,
Ksivusya [100]

Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :

-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1

-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4

-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6

The first equation works.

The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle.​ (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same​ mea
weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of  3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of  3rd angle of  triangle is 25​° more than three times the measure of either of the other two​ angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees
