Step 1

Let n represent car and m represent motorcycles.

n + m = 50 ...................1

car has four wheels and motorcycle has two wheels

4n + 2m = 164 .............................. 2

Step 2

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

from (1), make n subject of relation and substitute in equation 2.

n = 50 - m

Step 3

Substitute n in equation 2

4(50 - m) + 2m = 164

200 - 4m + 2m = 164

collect like terms

200 - 164 = 4m - 2m

36 = 2m

m = 36/2

m = 18

next find n

n = 50 - m

n = 50 - 18

n = 32

There are 32 cars and 18 motorcycles.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

7.7 pounds = 3.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight of a gallon of liquid = 7.7 pounds

We need to find weight in kilograms.

We must know the relation between pounds and kilograms and it is as follows :

1 kilogram = 2.20 pounds

or

1 pounds = (1/2.2) kilograms

7.7 pounds = (7.7/2.2) kilograms

= 3.5 kilograms

Hence, 7.7 pounds is equal to 3.5 kilograms.
