The percentage of animal wasted is the number of animal wasted over 100

85.7%  of the wild caught animals are wasted

<h3>How to calculate the animal wasted</h3>

From the question, we have:

Animals caught = 6 pounds

Salmon = 1 pound

The total weight in the system is:

Total = 6 pounds + 1 pound

So, we have:

Total = 7 pounds

The percent of wild caught animals wasted is then calculated as:

\%Wasted = \frac{6}{7} * 100\%

Simplify

\%Wasted = 85.7\%

Hence, 85.7%  of the wild caught animals are wasted

Solve the following system of equations by graphing and select the correct answer below:
JulijaS [17]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of each line.

To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0 into the equation and solve for "x".

To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0 into the equation and solve for "y".

- For the first equation:

x-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4x + 3(0)= 29\\\\4x=29\\\\x=\frac{29}{4}\\\\x=7.25

y-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4(0) + 3y = 29\\\\3y=29\\\\y=\frac{29}{3}\\\\y=9.66

Graph a line that passes through the points (7.25, 0) and (0, 9.66)

- For the second equation:

x-intercept

2x - 3y = 1 \\\\2x - 3(0) = 1 \\\\2x=1\\\\x=0.5

y-intercept

2x - 3y = 1\\\\2(0) - 3y = 1\\\\-3y=1\\\\y=-0.33

Graph a line that passes through the points (0.5, 0) and (0, -0.33)

Observe the graph attached. You can see that point of intersection of the lines is (5,3); then this is the solution of the system. Therefore:

x=5\\y=3

Answer:

The size is 37.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angle in the triangle is 180

Since the other two angles are congruent. it means that they are equal

Let us call each of the angles x

Mathematically,

x + x + 105 = 180

2x = 180-105

2x = 75

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (8, 4)
Ymorist [56]
First let us find the slope between the two points.

Slope = Change in y / Change in x.

(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =  (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5 

Slope m = -2/5= -0.4

Using  y = mx + c,   using point (3, 6)

y = -0.4x  + c

6 = -0.4*3 + c

6 = -1.2 + c

6 + 1.2 = c

7.2 = c

c = 7.2

Equation = :       y = -0.4x +c

y = -0.4x + 7.2

y = -4/10  + 72/10

10y = -4x + 72

5y = -2x + 36

Equation =:      5y = -2x + 36

Hope this explains it.
