Pacey, alex, and paul went fishing. they each caught one fish. alex’s weighed twice as much as pacey’s fish. paul’s weighed three times as much as pacey’s fish. total the 3 fish weighed 342lbs. how much did each boy’s fish weigh?

pacey = x

alex = 2x

paul = 3x

x + 2x + 3x = 342

6x =342

x = 342 / 6

x = 57

Pacey's fish = 57 pounds

Alex's fish = 57*2 = 114 pounds

Pauls fish = 57*3 = 171 pounds
