Answer:

goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of goldfish be x

and the number of guppies be y

so

x+y= 25----------1

and

3x+4y= 86-------2

solve 1 and 2

x+y= 25

3x+4y= 86

from 1

x= 25-y

put this in 2

3(25-y)+4y= 86

75-3y+4y= 86

75+y= 86

y= 86-75

y=11

put y= 11 in 1

x+11= 26

x= 26-11

x= 15

Hence goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11

A wall takes 10 seconds to strike 6.how much time will it take to strike 12?
andriy [413]
I think it is 20 seconds because when you multiply six times x, you get twelve. And in this case, the x equals two. So, because you multiplied two to six, you do the same thing to the ten seconds, which is twenty. Sorry if this is the wrong answer.
