Ответ:
John now has X - 3
and splits the remainder equally between himself and his brothers
Each of the brothers now has (X-3)/3 apples (we have to assume here that Jack and Jim didn't have any apples to begin with).
Jack and John both eat half of the apples they have been given
They now have (X-3)/3/2, or just (X-3)/6
Together the three brothers have 4 apples left
Now we say 4 = (X-3)/3 (Jim) + (X-3)/6 (Jack) + (X-3)/6 (John)
From here it's algebra. A nice trick we can do here is to add (X-3)/6 + (X-3)/6 together first, since they have the same denominator:
4 = (X-3)/3 + (X-3)/3
From there we can do the same trick, since now we have two terms that are both something/3:
4 = 2(X-3)/3
Multiply both sides by 3, divide both sides by 2:
6 = X - 3
Add 3 to both sides
9 = X
Ответ:
8 or 9
Step-by-step explanation:
John eats 3 gives brothers and himself the remainder they both eat half and both halves are left making it 1 so add up to how much was eaten 3+1=4 and they have 4 left making it 8. Or just say x-3-1=4 and x=8. It can also be 9 so hopefully, someone else answers because if we add the halves remaining to the altogether it becomes 9 instead. Hope it's right and makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:
Among the given options only the 2nd option is correct.
i. e., the graph shows the number of car payments paid on the horizontal axis and the amount owed on the vertical axis. The line starts high on the vertical axis and decreases as it goes along the horizontal axis.
