Answer:
u=11
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 36=47-9
36≠38
2. 36=47-11
36=36
3. 36=47-8
36≠39
4. 36=47-38
36≠9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (6x-10) - x
Opening bracket
= 6x/2 - 10/2 - x
= 3x - 5 - x
= 2x - 5
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
