Paula wants to add some more tropical fish to her aquarium. She wants to buy some Blue Gouramis, which cost $2.50 each, and some Clown Loaches, which cost $5.50 each. She has room for only 6 more fish and she has $24.00 to spend. How many of each kind of fish can she buy?

Let the number of Blue Gouramis be represented by b and the number of Clown Loaches be represented by c . Write the two equations for the system. The first equation will deal with the number of fish. The second one will deal with cost.

she can buy 3 Blue Gouramis and 3 Clown Loaches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of Blue Gouramis that she can buy.

Let c represent the number of Clown Loaches that she can buy.

She has room for only 6 more fishes. It means that

b + c = 6

She wants to buy some Blue Gouramis, which cost $2.50 each, and some Clown Loaches, which cost $5.50 each. She has $24.00 to spend. It means that

2.5b + 5.5c = 24- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting b = 6 - c into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(6 - c) + 5.5c = 24

15 - 2.5c + 5.5c = 24

- 2.5c + 5.5c = 24 - 15

3c = 9

c = 9/3 = 3

b = 6 - c = 6 - 3

b = 3

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
