(r is red, g is green and y is yellow)
r+g+y=33
r=3g
2y=r

substitution:
y=33-g-r
y=33-(1/3)2y+2y
y=33-8/3y
11/3y=33
y=33÷(11/3)
y=9

Solve for red and green:

r=2y
r=2×9
r=18

3g=r
3g=18
g=18/3
g=6

double check:
6+18+9=33

answer:
6 green apples, 9 yellow apples and 18 red apples.

Selecting an SUV with a blue exterior
frozen [14]

The answer is straightforward, by the "rule of product":

There are

3×8×2=48

3×8×2=48

different combinations (distinct possible cars) that can be created.

There 33 choices for body style; 88 choices for exterior colors, and 22 choices of interior color schemes:

Since each of these choices are independent (the choice of body style doesn't depend on exterior or interior color, e.g.) we multiply the number of choices for each quality to obtain: 3×8×2=483×8×2=48 distinct ways to create a car

Find the equation of the line passing through point (4,2) and perpendicular to AB
Setler [38]

Answer:

a. -⅓

b. 3

c. y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Gradient of line AB:

A(1, 3), B(7, 1)

Gradient = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 3}{7 - 1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}

Gradient (m) = -⅓

b. The of the line that is perpendicular to line AB would be the negative reciprocal of the gradient of line AB.

Thus, the negative reciprocal of -⅓ = 3

Gradient of the line perpendicular to line AB = 3

c. Equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is perpendicular to line AB:

We can write the equation using the point-slope form equation, y - b = m(x - a), where,

(a, b) represents a point on the line, and,

m = gradient/slope

We know that the gradient/slope (m) = 3

Also, a point, (a, b) = (4, 2).

Therefore, substitute a = 4, b = 2, and m = 3 into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

y - 2 = 3x - 12

Add 2 to both sides

y = 3x - 12 + 2

y = 3x - 10
