Question 388639
Two fishermen go ice fishing one morning. By noon, Fisherman A has 6 fish and is catching 2 fish per hour. Fisherman B has 4 fish and is catching 3 per hour. Assume they will continue catching fish at the same rate.
Write a system of equations that relates the time to the total fish caught.


A = 6 + 2t
B = 4 + 3t
where t is time in hours, A is total for fisherman A,
B is total for fisherman B
total fish caught = A + B = 6 + 2t + 4 + 3t = 10 + 5t
