plzz help mee

a) Write a let statement below to define your variable(s):

Let the number of fishes Ms. Montesinos has be represented by = f

b) Set up an equation using the variable you defined in (a):

The equation is :

3f - 2 = 13

c) Solve your equation & Check. How many fish does Ms. Montesinos have?

Ms. Montesinos has 5 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Cruz has a tank with 11 fish. After buying two more, she has 2 less than triple the amount of fish Ms. Montesinos has. How many fish does Ms. Montesinos have in her tank?

a) Write a let statement below to define your variable(s):

Let the number of fishes Ms. Montesinos has be represented by = f

b) Set up an equation using the variable you defined in (a):

We are told in the question:

Ms. Cruz has a tank with 11 fish. After buying two more, she has 2 less than triple the amount of fish Ms. Montesinos has.

Therefore,

3× f - 2 = 11 + 2

The equation is :

3f - 2 = 13

c) Solve your equation & Check. How many fish does Ms. Montesinos have?

Solving the above equation:

3f - 2 = 13

3f = 13 + 2

3f = 15

Divide both sides by 3

3f/3 = 15/3

f = 5

Hence, Ms. Montesinos has 5 fishes
