Question 1091175: the formula w+2.2/10.4=t is used by the Alaska fish & wildlife commission to relate the age, t of a certain type of salmon in years to its weight,w. fisherman are required to catch only those fish who are at least 3 years of age to keep the fish population at sustainable numbers. describe the acceptable weight guidelines for these fish according to the formula

w+2.2/10.4=t
w+2.2=10.4t
w=10.4t-2.2
If t=3, then
w=29
Therefore, the weight of the fish must be at least 29 units, or more.
