Answer=140 fish
200 gallons of water in the first aquarium.
200 gallons of water in the second aquarium.
The first will be for the small fishes.
5 small fish x fish
_____________=__________
10 gallons 200 gallons
cross multiply
10x=1000
divide both sides by 10
x=100 small fish
The first aquarium has 100 small fish.
The second aquarium holds large fish.
8 large fish x fish
____________=___________
40 gallons 200 gallons
cross multiply
40x=1600
divide both sides by 40
x=40 large fish
The second aquarium has 40 large fish.
100small fish+40 large fish=140 total fish
X = 5 - 3y
x = 2y - 10
5 - 3y = 2y - 10
<u> + 3y + 3y </u>
5 = 5y - 10
<u>+ 10 + 10</u>
<u>15</u> = <u>5y</u>
5 5
3 = y
x = 2y - 10
x = 2(3) - 10
x = 6 - 10
x = -4
(x, y) = (-4, 3)
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
