Jean stocked her aquarium with 36 fresh-water fish, which cost $212. the male fish cost $5 each, while the female fish cost $7 each. find the number of male fish (x) and the number of female fish (y)

Let x = number of male fish

Let y = number of female fish.

We need to construct a system of equations to solve this problem.

36 = x + y

212 = 5x + 7y. Lets solve this by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -5

-180 = -5x + -5y

212 = 5x + 7y. Now we need to add the equations together.

32 = 2y. Divide each side by 2.

16 = y. Plug this number into one of our original equations.

36 = x + (16). Subtract 16 from both sides.

20 = x.

There are 20 male fish and 16 female fish.

john got lost so he didn't know what to do and it was crazy because he didn't except it

9) i can't see the angle so whatever it is just do this: cos(angle) x hypotenuse and then use that answer and they hypotenuse and plug it into this: (answer you just got)^2 + b^2 = (hypotenuse)^2. the first answer will be the answer of the adjacent side and the second answer after this equation will be the opposite side.

10) y = 14 x = √147 or 12.12435565

11) x = 4.8

12) x = 4.2

13) x = 9.3

14) pq: 13.2

qr : 17.6

angle p: 53º

15) angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 35.7º

16) h = 21040

v = 1841

step-by-step explanation:

10) 7/sin(30) = 14 = y

7^2 + b^2 = 14^2

49 + b^2 = 196

b^2 = 196 - 49

√b^2 = √147

x = √147

11) cos(70) x 14 = 4.788282007

x = 4.8

12) tan(25) x 9 = 4.196768923

x = 4.2

13) sin(31) x 18 = 9.270685348

x = 9.3

14) pq: sin(37) x 22 = 13.23993051

pq: 13.2

qr: cos(37) x 22 = 17.56998122

qr : 17.6

angle p: 180 - (37 + 90) = 53º

15) cos-1(7/12) = 54.31466529

angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 180 - (90 + 54.31466529) = 35.68533471

angle a: 35.7º

16) 4 x 5280 = 21120

cos(5) x 21120

h = 21039.63202

h = 21040

sin(5) x 21120

v = 1840.729287

v = 1841
