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.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
