Answer:
Number of trout caught by Bill = 16 trout
Number of trout caught by Steve = 30 trout
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of trout caught = 46
Number of trout caught by Steve = Number of trout caught by Bill + 14
Find:
Number of trout caught by Steve
Number of trout caught by Bill
Computation:
Assume;
Number of trout caught by Bill = a
Number of trout caught by Steve = a + 14
So,
Number of trout caught by Steve + Number of trout caught by Bill = Total number of trout caught
a + a + 14 = 46
2a = 46 - 14
2a = 32
a = 16
Number of trout caught by Bill = 16 trout
Number of trout caught by Steve = a + 14
Number of trout caught by Steve = 16 + 14
Number of trout caught by Steve = 30 trout
