Jay and blair went fishing. together they caught 27 fish. jay caught two times as many fish as blair. how many fish did jay and blair each caught? write an equation and solve. explain your work

Make formulas for their fish J = 2B, B = X, so J = 2X, and B = X, then B + J = 27, and 3X = 27. X = 9, and J = 2(9), and B = 9, so Jay caught 18 fish, and Blaire caught 9

45x is the correct answer

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
