Jane, andre, and maria pick apples. andre picks 3 times as many pounds as maria. jane picks 2 times as many pounds as andre. the total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. how many pounds of apples does andre pick? a) 84 pounds b) 252 pounds c) 504 pounds d) 840 pounds

Let Maria = X

Andre = 3x ( 3 times as many as Maria)

Jane = 2(3x) = 6x ( 2 times as many as Andre)

All 3 need to equal 840 pounds:

X + 3x + 6X = 840

Combine like terms:

10X = 840

Divide both sides by 10:

X = 840 / 10

X = 84

Maria = X = 84 pounds

Andre = 3x = 3(84) = 252 pounds

Jane = 6x = 6(84) = 504 pounds

504 + 252 + 84 = 840 pounds.

Andre picked 252 pounds.

The answer is B.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

dont trust me im no expert these losers made me fail a test bro this sucks
