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.

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
