Bobby Joe and Billy ray went fishing at the local watering hole and caught a total of 51 fish. Billy Rat caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe. Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught. How many fish did each boy catch? Bobby Joe caught ___ fish Billy Ray caught___ fish

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Bobby Joe caught 34 fishes

Billy Ray caught 17 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fish Bobby Joe caught = y

Let the number of Billy Ray caught = x

Total number of fish caught = 51 fishes

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

Billy Ray caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe.

y = x - 17

Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught.

Substitute x - 17 for y in Equation 1

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

x + (x - 17) = 51

x + x - 17 = 51

2x = 51 - 17

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Hence, Bobby Joe caught 17 fishes

x + y = 51

17 + y = 51

y = 51 - 17

y = 34

Hence, Billy ray caught 34 fishes

What is triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon, which has three vertices. The three sides are connected with each other end to end at a point, which forms the angles of the triangle. The sum of all three angles of the triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Given,

In the figure, interior angles of triangle measures =

62°, right angle = 90°, x

Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

⇒ 62° + 90° + x = 180°

⇒ 152° + x = 180°

⇒ x = 180° - 152°

⇒ x = 28°

Hence, 28° is the measure of angle x.

9s - 5g=4u, for s i need the answer pls

Answers

Answer:

9s-5g=-4u

*Isolating the S variable*

9s = -4u+5g

s = (-4u + 5g)/9

The answer is option B.

The correct answer choice is B.

You want to isolate the variable so you add 5g on both sides of the equation. Which gives you 9s = -4u + 5g. Then you divide both sides of the equation by 9 which would get you s= -4u+ 5g/9.

the sets are

natural numbers (or counting numbers), this is like 1,2,3,4,5 etc

whole numbers, this is including 0, so 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 etc

integers, this includes the previoius set and negatives, so -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 etc

rational numbers, this is the set of numbers that can be written in form a/b where b≠0, so all integers can be written like this, like example -3=-3/1, so -7/9 belongs here

Round 15.78947368 to two decimal
Places

Pls pls helppp

Answers

Answer:

= 15.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number in the hundredth place (8) and look one place to the right for the rounding digit (9). Round up if this number is greater than or equal to 5 and round down if it is less than 5.

The given number i.e. 15.78947368 rounded to two decimal places is 15.79.

Given that,

The given number is 15.78947368.Here we have to rounded in 2 decimal places.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

Here we have to check whether the digit is below 5 or above. If is above so the next number should be rounded.

Like 15.789

Here 8 is greater than 5

So for two decimals it is 15.79.

Therefore we can conclude that the given number i.e. 15.78947368 rounded to two decimal places is 15.79.

If you order 3 chickens wraps and order 2 orders of potatoes for a total bill of $42.95 someone else orders 5 chicken wraps and 4 orders of potatoes for a total bill of $74.91. What is the cost of a chicken wrap and what is the cost of one order of potatoes

Answers

Answer: The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chicken wrap be x

Let the cost of one order of potatoes be y.

From the question,

3x + 2y = $42.95 ...... equation i

5x + 4y = $74.91 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 3

15x + 10y = $214.75 ..... equation iii

15x + 12y = $224.73 ....... equation iv

Subtract equation iv from equation iii. This will be:

-2y = -$9.98

y = $9.98/2

y = $4.99

Since 3x + 2y = $42.95

3x + 2($4.99) = $42.95

3x + $9.98 = $42.95

3x = $42.95 - $9.98

3x = $32.97

x = $32.97/3

x = $10.99

The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

You traveled 52 miles. Then, your avg rate is 12 mph. What algebraic exp.
models the distance?

Answers

Answer:y=12x

Step-by-step explanation:

The algebraic equation that models the distance will be d = 12 * t ,

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken to travel.

What is the average speed?

The total distance traveled by the object in a given time interval is the average speed. A scalar quantity is an average speed. It is represented by the magnitude and lacks direction.

        Avg. speed = [tex]\frac{Total distance travelled}{Total Time Taken}[/tex]

Given :

Total distance traveled = 52 miles.

Average Speed =  12 mph

Let the time taken by t hours.

Therefore, according to the formula:  12 = 52 / t

52 = 12 * t

in order to convert it into algebraic form, let d = 52

Hence, The algebraic equation that models the distance will be

d = [tex]12 *t[/tex]

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken to travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

You observe that the smaller number of (+1) tokens is 2 of them, found on the right side. Remove 2 (+1) tokens from each side to get ...

  x + 4 = 2x

The smaller number of (x) tokens is 1, found on the left side. Remove 1 (x) token from each side to get ...

  4 = x . . . . . matches choice B

_____

Comment on this approach

In general, this is a decent approach to use for solving any linear equation. You may find that x and number tokens end up on the same side of the equal sign (with 0 on the other side). Then you need to add some number of (-1) tokens to both sides to cancel the ones on the side with x.

At the end, you may need to split the problem evenly into equal parts according to the number of times x appears. (If this had been x+6 = 3x+2, then you would end with 4=2x. Splitting that into two equal parts, each would be 2=x.)
