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.

Which of the following points does Not lie on the graph of y =3x
nalin [4]

Answer:

(2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the questions are</em></u>

(0,1) (1,3) (2,6) (3,27)

and the given function is    y=3^x

we know that

If a ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the given equation

<u><em>Verify each ordered pair</em></u>

case 1) (0,1)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

1=3^0

1=1 ----> is true

so

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation

case 2) (1,3)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

3=3^1

3=3 ----> is  true

so

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation

case 3) (2,6)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

6=3^2

6=9 ----> is  not true

so

The ordered pair not lie on the graph of the given equation

case 4) (3,27)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

27=3^3

27=27 ----> is  true

so

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation
