Total number of orders served by Maya, Ahmad and Joe on Moday = 75

Let the number of orders Maya served be x.

Then :

Number of orders Joe served = 2x

Number of orders Ahmad served = x - 5

This can be written in an equation as :

\tt \: 2x + x - 5 + x = 75

= \tt 4x - 5 = 75

= \tt 4x = 75 + 5

= \tt 4x  = 80

=  \tt \:  x =  \frac{80}{4}

=  \tt \: x = 20

Which means :

Number of orders Joe served :

= 2 × 20

= 40

Thus, Joe served 40 orders.

Number of orders Maya served = 20

Number of orders Ahmad served :

= 20 - 5

= 15

Thus, Ahmad served 15 orders.

<h2>Therefore, </h2>
  • Maya served 20 orders
  • Ahmad served 15 orders
  • Joe served 40 orders.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

For x < -6, the function has a slope of -1 and an x-intercept of -6.

For x > -6, the function has a slope of 2 and an x-intercept of -6.

The function given here is not defined at x=6, so there is a hole at (-6, 0).

1.   4 • (–3) • 5
   so 4 x (-3) = -12  and then -12 x 5 = -60
2.   (2.25 x 23) x 4
so (2.25 x 23) 51.75  and then 51.75 x4 = 207
4.  5 x 12 x (-2)
 so 5 x 12 = 60  and then 60 x (-2) = -120
5.   35(26)(0) =
  so 35 x 26 = 910  and then  910 x 0 = 0
