Distance = Average speed * Time = 48*10 = 480 miles
So, they drove for 480 miles
So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish

Answer:
The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with
different symbols.
For example, instead of x, we could use the
letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.
Then the equation becomes
F = mC + b.
All temperature scales are related by linear
equations. For example, the temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.
Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F
Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F
Hope this helps!
