There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

  • Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be x
  • Let the number of octopi in the tank be y

If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;

  • x + y = 30 ....................... 1

If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:

  • 5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2

From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:

5(30-y) + 8y = 171

150 - 5y + 8y = 171

3y = 171 - 150

3y = 21

y = 7

Recall that x = 30 - y

x = 30 - 7

x = 23

Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

The area of the given trapezoid will be the sum of the areas of the triangular part and the rectangular part.

Now, the area of the rectangle, A_1 is:

A_1=length \times width=2\times 1.5=3 squared yards

Likewise, the area, A_2 of the triangle will be:

A_2=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 1.5=3.75 yd^2

Thus, the area of the trapezoid=A_1+A_2=3+3.75=6.75 yd^2

Thus the first option is the correct option.

Solve for x in the given equation: ax - b = c
lord [1]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x is the equation ax-b=c is (c+b)/(a).

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

The solution of x in the given equation can be written as,

ax - b = c\\\\ax = c+b\\\\x = \dfrac{c+b}{a}

Hence, the value of x is the equation ax-b=c is (c+b)/(a).
