Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Leslie starts with x oranges.

The first person buys 1/3 of the oranges, leaving behind 2/3 x.

The second person buys 4 oranges, leaving behind 2/3 x − 4.

The third person buys 1/4 of the remaining oranges, leaving behind:

3/4 (2/3 x − 4)

This amount equals 15. Solving for x:

15 = 3/4 (2/3 x − 4)

20 = 2/3 x − 4

24 = 2/3 x

36 = x

What is the answer to this how to work it
Anna007 [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (A)  -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is continuous if you can draw its graph without lifting your pencil. In this case, that means each of the piecewise function definitions must have the same value at x=3.

  x^2 +2 = 6x +k  . . . . . must be true at x=3

  3^2 +2 = 6(3) +k . . . . substitute 3 for x

  9 +2 -18 = k . . . . . . . . subtract 18

  k = -7 . . . . . . . simplify
