Gretchen and her friend Hayley bought three bags of apples and three bunches of bananas from the fruit vendor. Gretchen and Hayley want to find the total number of pieces of fruit that they bought. Gretchen thinks she should multiply 3 by the number of apples in each bag, x, and add it to 3 times the number of bananas in each bunch, y, to find the total number of pieces of fruit. Hayley thinks Gretchen should add the number of apples in each bag, x, to the number of bananas in each bunch, y, and then multiply that sum by 3.

The total number of pieces of fruit that they bought should be 72.

Here we assume 3 bags of apples with 4 apples in each bag  

And, 3 bunches of bananas with 4 bananas in each bunch  

Now  

= 12 + 12

= 24 pieces of fruit

Since

4 + 4 + 4  (12)  apples   +   4 = 4 + 4  (12)  bananas

So,

= 12 + 12

= 24  

here we need to multiplied by 3

So,  

= 72

Gretchen thinks she should multiply 3 by the number of apples in each bag, x, and add it to 3 times the number of bananas in each bunch, y, to find the total number of pieces of fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine 3 bags of apples with 4 apples in each bag  (3 x 4 = 12)

Let's imagine 3 bunches of bananas with 4 bananas in ea. bunch  (3 x 4 = 12)

Thus, 12 + 12 = 24 pieces of fruit

vs.

4 + 4 + 4  (12)  apples   +   4 = 4 + 4  (12)  bananas

Thus, 12 + 12 = 24  

24 x 3 = 72    >>  Uh - Oh !!

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

the answer would be d.

step-by-step explanation:

move all variables to the left side and all constants to the right side

(x−3)^2+(y−1)^2=16

this is the form of a circle. use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle.

( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2

match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. the variable   r   represents the radius of the circle,   h   represents the x-offset from the origin, and   k   represents the y-offset from origin.

r = 4

h = 3

k = 1

the center of the circle is found at   ( h , k ) .

center:   ( 3 , 1 )

these values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.

center:   ( 3 , 1 ).

radius:   4
