The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.

60% of the fish are yellow.

To find:

How many green fish are in the aquarium?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.

60% of the fish are yellow.

So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.

Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.

So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.

Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish

⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3

⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5

⇒ 3x = 2x + 15

⇒ 3x - 2x = 15

⇒ x = 15

Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6

Answer:

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.

What is the value of (a+b) in the system of equations below?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

6(a+b) + 2z = -8 ; divide by 2

3(a+b) + z = -4

a+b+z = 2; subtract z from both sides

a+b = 2-z; substitute a+b into equation  3(a+b) +z = -4

3(2-z) +z = -4; distribute

6 - 3z+ z= -4 ; subtract 6 on both sides

-3z + z = -4 -6 ; combine like terms

-2z = -10; divide both sides by -2

z= 5

3(a+b) +z = -4; substitute z by 5

3(a+b) +5 = -4; subtract 5 from both sides

3( a+b) = -4 -5; combine like terms

3(a+b) = -9; divide both sides by 3

(a+b) = -3
