Answer:
450 portugals
Step-by-step explanation:
in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer
Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.
Thus;
p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)
Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;
That would be;
3 * r = p
3r = p. •••••••••(ii)
substitute ii into i
3r + r = 600
4r = 600
r = 600/4
r = 150
P = 3r
p = 3 * 150 = 450
Answer:
A, If you still need help
1.)divide by 5 on each side to obtain
Abs(2x+3)=45
2x+3=45 or 2x+3=-45
2x=42 or 2x=-48
x=21 or x=-24
The amount of material/ number of pillows made
16/12 = 4/3 = 1 1/3
So the answer lies between integers 1 & 2
