There was a total of 18 apples

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the total no. of apples be 'a'.

Patriarca took 1/6 of the apples. So the remaining apples is,

a - (1/6) a= (5/6) a

Step 1:

His wife takes (1/5) of the rest of the apples. So after she takes the apples the remaining apples will be,

(5/6) a - (1/5) (5/6) a

(5/6) a - (1/6) a = (4/6) a

Step 2 :

Her elder son takes (1/4) of the remaining apples. So,

(4/6) a - (1/4) (4/6) a

(4/6) a - (1/6) a = (3/6) a

Step 3:

Middle son takes (1/3) of the remaining apples. So,

(3/6) a - (1/3) (3/6) a

(3/6) a - (1/6) a = (2/6) a

Step 4:

Younger son takes (1/2) of the remaining apples. So,

(2/6) a - (1/2) (2/6) a

(2/6) a - (1/6) a = (1/6) a

After work she takes the remaining 3 apples. So the remaining apples were 3

So,

(1/6) a = 3

a = 3 x 6

a = 18 apples

There were a total of 18 apples.

Graph the equation

Lisa [10]

To find the root, replace y with 0
X^2-12x+35=0
A=1 B=-12 C=35
B^2-4ac=(-12)^2 -4(1)(35)
=144 -140
=4

x=(-b+/- square root of b^2 -4ac) /over/ (2a)
Plug in the numbers
x=-(-12) sqr (-12)^2 4(1)(35) / (2)(1)
X=12 +/-sqr 4 / 2
Positive outcome
x=12 + sqr 4 / 2
x=12+2/2
x=7 <— this one
Negative outcome
x=12-2i/2
x=6-i
Vertex: (6,-1)

Solve surface area please! Quick it’s due soon

just olya [345]

Answer:

SA = 470 m²

volume = 494 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Individual areas</u>

Back = 4 x 19 = 76 m²

Top = 5 x 19 = 95 m²

sloped side = 5 x 19 = 95 m²

base = 8 x 19 = 152 m²

end = (4 x 5) + 1/2(3 x 4) = 26 m²

Total SA = 76 + 95 + 95 + 152 + (2 x 26) = 470 m²

<u>Volume</u>

volume = (4 x 5 x 19) + 1/2(3 x 4 x 19) = 494 m³
