How can i set up this equation?

We know that in the aquarium there is 6 less yellow fish. We also know that they take up 40% of the aquarium. We know that the other 60% of the fish tank has to be green fish.

From this we can see that the percentage difference between yellow fish’s 40% and green fish’s 60% is 20% And we also know that green fish has 6 more fish than yellow. So we know that 20% is 6 fish. We can use this data to know workout how many fish green has. The answer has to be 18. Hope this helps and if you get stuck You can comment underneath this and I’ll assist you there :)

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
