    40=3y+5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If orange is represented by x and black is represented by y

    orange fish are 5 more than twice black

    meaning, x=2y+5

    Also, orignal equation would be 40=x+y

    so it would be 40 = (2y+5) + y

    or, 40=3y+5

    then solve

    35=3y

    so about 12 orange fish
