The answer depends on the perspective; however, this question is often meant to be a "trick question"; with the answer being: 2 (two) apples!
_______________________________________________
The rationale behind this answer is that if there are three apples, but you "take 2 away" you now have "2" apples, because YOU are the one who "took away the 2 apples"—so presumably, YOU have the "2 apples" that YOU "took away"!
option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6
0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
The answer to this is 7.5.
You replace x with 3 and y with -2 so
3-3(-2)=9
the answer is D.9
