Mathematics

let the goldfish be x and the guppies be y

4x + 3y = 29...equ(1)

3x + 5y = 30...equ(2)

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3

20x + 15y = 145...equ(1)

9x + 15y = 90...equ(2)

subtracting equation 2 from 1

11x = 55

∴x = 5

 substituting the value of x into equation

4(5) + 3y = 29

20 + 3y = 29

3y = 9

∴y =3

Which measurement is greatest? 6 kilometers, 60 meters,600 centimeters, 6000 millimeters
Rashid [163]
Convert all of them to meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

6 * 1000 = 6000

6 km = 6000 m

1 cm = 0.01 m

600 * 0.01 = 6

600 cm = 6 m

1 mm = 0.001 m

6000 * 0.001 = 6 m

So we have:

6000 m, 60 m, 6 m, and 6 m.

So 6 kilometers is the greatest.

Naddik [55]
Communitive property is the property that allows you to move the numbers around in addition and multiplication.
 
For example:

(multiplication) 3 x 4 = 4 x 3
