Can anyone please help me with some math problems?

OpenStudy (perl):

what is the math problem :)

OpenStudy (jack1):

heya... post the q here and we'll see what we can do?

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok thank you! 1. Choose the correct answer. Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of fish did he buy? Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of angelfish Yves bought, and y represents the number of parrotfish he bought? (Points : 1) x + y = 6 y = 420x x + 6y = 420 y = 6x x ��������� y = 420 y = 6x x + y = 420 y = 6x Question 2. 2. Nancy has bought 360 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 8 times as many goldfish as angelfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy? (Points : 1) 320 angelfish, 40 goldfish 160 angelfish, 200 goldfish 40 angelfish, 320 goldfish 20 angelfish, 160 goldfish Question 3. 3. For each of the following questions, choose the correct answer. Anita and Joelle bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. Anita���������s score was 40 less than twice Joelle���������s. What were their scores? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Joelle���������s score, and y represents Anita���������s score. (Points : 1) x + y = 425 y = 2x ��������� 40 x + y = 425 y = 2x + 40 x ��������� y = 425 y = 2x ��������� 40 x + y = 40 y = 2x ��������� 425 Question 4. 4. Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan���������s score was 60 less than twice Dave���������s. What were their scores? (Points : 1) Dave: 145, Allan: 230 Dave: 160, Allan: 215 Dave: 215, Allan: 160 Dave: 230, Allan: 145 Question 5. 5. Choose the correct answer. Milo wants to make a mixture that is 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice. How much 100% lemon juice should he add to a juice that is 20% lemon juice and 80% lime juice to make 4 gallons of the 50% lemon/50% lime juice mixture? (Points : 1) 0.5 gallon 1.5 gallons 2 gallons 2.5 gallons

k so i'm not going to do ur test for u, but happy to help u understand how to get the answer, k?

OpenStudy (jack1):

also... that copy paste didn't work so well...? anyways: Q 1 u'd want to use "substitution" here when ur doing ur simultaneous equations total number of fish = 420 6 times number of parrotfish (y) = number of angel fish (x)

OpenStudy (jack1):

so first equation is 6y = x

OpenStudy (jack1):

total number of fish = x + y so 2nd equation is x + y = 420

dang it

OpenStudy (jack1):

so put the 2 together: EQN 1: 6y = x EQN 2: x + y = 420 ... that's pretty much as far as you need to go to solve question 1. If you want to solve how many parrot fish (y) there are, you could sub equation 1 into equation 2 and solve for y... but u don't need to go that far. Follow so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm already lost.......

OpenStudy (jack1):

dammit ive got the x and y backwards anyway... sorry 6x = y... not 6y = x

OpenStudy (jack1):

Q1: x = number of angelfish y = number of parrotfish there are 6 times the number of parrot fish in the tank so 6x = y total number of fish = number of angelfish + number of parrotfish total number of fish = x + y 420 = x + y so ur system of equations to solve are 6x = y and 420 = x + y ...done for q1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i see is is x's and y's

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok... but wherever u see x: think ängelfish and wherever you see y: read it as "parrotfish" ...does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not at all......

Question 2. 2. Nancy has bought 360 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 8 times as many goldfish as angelfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy? (Points : 1) 320 angelfish, 40 goldfish 160 angelfish, 200 goldfish 40 angelfish, 320 goldfish 20 angelfish, 160 goldfish x = number of goldfish y = number of angelfish there are 8 times the number of goldfish in the tank so x = 8y total number of fish = number of angelfish + number of goldfish total number of fish = y + x 360 = y + x so ur system of equations to solve are: 360 = x + y and x = 8y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that part

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok... well x and y are "variables"... they're used in a lot of calculus and algebra so maths people don't have to write words like "angelfish" or "boat 1" or "car a" in all of their equations... so u'll just have to remember with each equation what variable you assign to what real thing... in this case it's a type of fish for each variable... in other equations it may be 2 different cars in a race... or water flowing into a dam... or the number of crickets in a population, etc

um

Question 3. 3. For each of the following questions, choose the correct answer. Anita and Joelle bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. Anitas score was 40 less than twice Joelles. What were their scores? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Joelles score, and y represents Anitas score. A = anitas score J = Joelles score their combined score was 425... so A + J = 425 also anitas score was 40 less than twice joelles score... so twice joelles score = 2J 40 less is 2J -40 so A = 2J - 40 those are ur 2 equations... u can use x and y or assign whatever variables you like, i just used A and J to keep it easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive had a enough..........

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok, sorry :(

OpenStudy (jack1):

just keep trying with them in ur own time tho, it will make sense eventually
