HELP :/ At the local pet store, Bloodfin Tetra cost $1.50 each and Angelfish cost $4.75 each. If Sarah bought 8 fish for a total cost of $21.75, not including tax, how many of each type of fish did she buy?

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of Angelfish fish and

b be the number of Bloodfin fish

Then according to the given statements

we get the following equations

From Equation 1

Putting in equation 2

Putting b=5 in equation 1

Hence,

Sarah bough 3 Angelfish and 5 Bloodfin Tetra

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is two. hope this !
