If the total number of sharks in this area is 597, how many white sharks are there in this area?'. Somebody can help me please, i need to do the equations...please!! \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #679466 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! w = number of white sharks \n" ); document.write( "h = number of hammerhead shards.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = h + 341 (first equation) \n" ); document.write( "w + h = 597 (second equation)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "replace w in the second equation with h + 341 from the first equation. \n" ); document.write( "second equation becomes (h + 341) + h = 597 \n" ); document.write( "solve for h to get h = 128.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = h + 341 becomes w = 128 + 341 which becomes w = 469\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w + h becomes 469 + 128 = 597\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution looks good.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "number of white sharks is 469 \n" ); document.write( "number of hammerhead sharks is 128\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
