Answer:

24 cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has 18 now, and ate 1/4, its easiest to think of 18 as the other 3/4. When divided by 3, we get 6. If 18 is three sets of 6, you just add the fourth one to it to find the original amount. The answer is 24.

Answer:

24 cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

18 is 75% of the original amount, meaning 25% will be 6 cherries.

So, 18 + 6 = 24, the original amount

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+y^2=250\\\\x^2-2xy+y^2+2xy=250\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2xy\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2\cdot117\\\\ (x-y)^2=16\\\\x-y=4\qquad\qquad\vee\qquad \qquad x-y=-4\\\\x=4+y \qquad\qquad \vee\qquad\qquad x=-4+y\\\\(y+4)y=117\qquad\vee\qquad\quad (y-4)y=117\\\\y^2+4y-117=0\qquad\vee\qquad y^2-4y-117=0\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\qquad\vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}\qquad\ \ \vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}$

$y_1=\dfrac{-4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_2=\dfrac{-4+22}{2}\ ,\quad y_3=\dfrac{4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_4=\dfrac{4+22}{2}\\\\y_1=-13\ ,\qquad y_2=9\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad\ y_3=-9\ ,\qquad y_4=13\\\\x_{1,2}=4+y_{1,2}\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad x_{3,4}=-4+y_{3,4}\\\\x_1=-9\ ,\qquad x_2=13\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad x_3=-13\ ,\qquad x_4=9$

Find the values of x and y leave answers in simplest radical form. *The altitude is:

$x = \sqrt{ { \sqrt{18} }^{2} + {2}^{2} } = \sqrt{18 + 4} = \sqrt{22} \\ y = \sqrt{ { \sqrt{18} }^{2} + {9}^{2} } = \sqrt{18 + 81} = \sqrt{99} = 3\sqrt{11}$
