Let's say patrick=a, paulo=b and joseph=c:

(1) a+b+c=68
(2) a+2=b
(3) b=2c

substituting (2) in (1) gives:

(4) 2a + c = 66 => a = 33 - c/2

(3) in (2) gives:

(5) a+2=2c

(4) in (5):

33 - c/2 + 2 = 2c => 35 = 2.5c => c=14

Joseph got 14 oranges!

What is the value of w?
DedPeter [7]
The side opposite the 30o angle is 1/2 W. That is just a property of a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle. Use that fact to set up the pythagorean relationship.

w^2 = (1/2 w)^2 + (7 * sqrt(3)) ^2
w^2 = 1/4 w^2 + 49*3
w^2 = 1/4 w^2 + 147
3/4 w^2 = 147
w^2 = 147 * 4/3
w^2 = 49 * 4 = 196
w = sqrt (196)
w = 14
