Answer:

Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represent Shen, A, Aldo and H, Heather

Now, let's interpret the question

Shen served 2 times as many as Aldo, this gives:

S = 2A          ...eq 1

Aldo served 7 more orders than Heater

A = 7 + H     ... eq 2

Slot in the value of A in eq 1

Therefore,

S = 2 (7 + H)

Expand the bracket

S = 14 + 2H

Shen, Heather and Aldo served a total of 57 orders

S + A + H = 57

Slot in the values of S and A

(14 + 2H) + (7 + H) + H = 57

14 + 2H + 7 + H + H = 57

Collect like terms

14 + 7 + 2H + H + H = 57

21 + 4H = 57

4H = 57 - 21

4H = 36

H = 9

Substitute the value of eq 2

A = 7 + H

A = 7 + 9

A = 16

Substitute the value of A in eq 1

S = 2A

S = 2(16)

S = 32

Therefore, Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Help please!!<br> Solve for X.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3) x = 9

  4) x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3) The two short segments are indicated as having a sum equal to the long segment.

  (x +2) +(-5 +x) = 15

  2x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

(This makes the segments be 9+2 = 11 and -5+9 = 4, which total 15.)

__

4) Same deal.

  3x +3 = 4x

  3 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3x

(This makes the segments be 3(3) = 9 and 4(3) = 12, where 9+3=12.)

The graph represent a  vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The vertex is the point (-4,-3)

The domain is the interval -----> (-∞,∞)

The Domain is all real numbers

The range is the interval ----> [-3,∞)

y\geq -3

The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to -3

The graph is increasing in the interval (-4,∞)

The graph is decreasing in the interval (-∞,-4)

The minimum of the graph is y=-3 occurs at x=-4
