1. Peter, Marcus, and Burt were harvesting Granny Green Smith apples at their grandfather's orchard. Peter picked 12 more apples than Marcus, and Burt picked twice the number apples
than Peter picked. Altogether they picked 104 Granny Smith apples. How many apples did
each harvester pick?

Marcus picked 17 apples

Peter picked 29 apples

Burt picked 58 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter = P

Marcus = M

Burt = B

104 = P + B + M

P = M+12

104 = M + 12 + B + M

104 = 2M + B + 12

B = 2(P)

B = 2(M+12)

104 = 2M + 2(M+12) + 12

104 = 2M + 2M + 24 + 12

104 = 4m + 36

68 = 4m

17 = m

Marcus picked 17 apples.

Peter picked 29 apples. (17+12)

Burt picked 58 apples (29*2)

sorry if this is confusing.

goodluck on your schoolwork/homework!

sorry for any bad explanations or incorrect answers.

no i do not : ( what is it?

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
