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.

Passing through (-2,-6) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=-3x+4
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

y = -3x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are parallel have the same gradient.

Therefore using the point (-2,-6) you can make your own equation.

-6 will be y, -2 will be x

All you have to do is find the y-intercept which is C in <em>y</em><em>=</em><em>mx</em><em>+</em><em>c</em>

-6 = -3(-2) + c

-6 = 6 + c

-12 = c

Therefore;

<u>y = -3x - 12</u>

Can someone help me with this please
d1i1m1o1n [39]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. attendance (y), time (x)

  2. 1,2: increasing; 3: constant; 4: decreasing

  3. attendance increases, remains constant, then decreases

  4. increasing; pre-heating the oven

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always difficult to read the mind of the author of questions like these. Usually, specific wording is expected. If your curriculum material has examples you can copy from, you should do that.

__

1. The variables and what they stand for are listed on the axes of the graph. The y-variable stands for attendance. The x-variable stands for time. It isn't clear whether the desired answer is "y and x" or "attendance and time".

__

2. The graph slopes upward in intervals 1 and 2. It can be described as "increasing."

The graph remains level in interval 3. It can be described as "constant."

The graph slopes downward in interval 4. It can be described as "decreasing."

__

3. The attendance is adequately described in question 2. Attendance increases, remains constant, then decreases. It isn't clear how general or specific the answer is supposed to be.

__

4. The graph of the function is "increasing." We don't know if the indicated temperature is the temperature of the bread, the oven, or the room containing the oven. If we assume the indicated temperature is that of the oven, we expect an increase during the oven pre-heat interval.

If the indicated temperature is that of the bread, then the increase would be following insertion of the bread into the oven.
