Carson went to pick apples at an orchard. he gave one-third of his apples to his friend Nathan. then he gave one-half of what he had to his friend Nikki. on his way home he dropped one-fourth if what he had left, so that he only had 9 for him and his family. how many apples did Carson pick originally?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Carson had x number of apples to start with.

He gave 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has (2/3)x apples left.

He gave 1/2 of what was left to Nikki. Now Carson has (1/2)(2/3)x = (2/6)x = (1/3)x apples.

On the way home, he dropped 1/4, so he has 3/4 of the last amount he had, and the number is 9.

(3/4) * (1/3)x = 9

3/12 x = 9

1/4 x = 9

x = 36

He picked 36 apples.

Check:

Start with 36 apples.

Give 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has 24 apples.

Give 1/2 to Nikki. Now Carson has 12 apples.

Drop 1/4. 1/4 of 12 is 3. 12 - 3 = 9.

Hew only had 9 apples left, so 36 is correct.

36 apples

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1  = he dropped 1/4  and was left with 9  

Finding 1/3 one third of 9 = 3.

Then 9 +3 = 12

Step 2 He parted with 1/2 and was left with 12

12x2=24

Step 3 He parted with 1/3 and was left with 24

= 12+ 12 + 12  = 36    Where 1/3 of 36 = 24

Answer = 36

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.

answer:   rotate 270° clockwise about (7, 1) and reflect across the line x = 7
