Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the brackets first
X+8= 8x
X+8= 8x
then you plus 8x + 8x =16x
16x -9 =7x
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:

Now you can solve the equation:

Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 out of 50 were tagged.
Divide 2 by 50:
2/50 = 0.4 ( This is 4% of the fish were tagged).
Now divide the number of fish caught by the percentage that were tagged:
50 / 0.04 = 1250
The number of fish in the pond is C. 1250
