A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. Both have only 1 seat so he saw a total of 32 bikes.

Let "x" represent the number of bicycles and "y" represent the number of tricycles. <em>The solution below is using the substitution method.</em>

x + y = 32 → x = 32 - y

2x + 3y = 77 → 2(32 - y) + 3y = 77 → 64 - 2y + 3y = 77 → 64 + y = 77 → y = 13

Answer: 13 tricycles

  • Bicycles: 1 seat and 2 wheels
  • Tricycles: 1 seat and 3 wheels

So with this, we will be making a system of equations. One representing the amount of seats and one representing the amount of wheels. Let x = bicycles and y = tricycles:

x+y=32\\2x+3y=77

With this, I will be using the substitution method. Firstly, subtract y on both sides of the first equation:

x=32-y\\2x+3y=77

Next, substitute x in the second equation for (32 - y) and solve for y:

2(32-y)+3y=77\\64-2y+3y=77\\64+y=77\\y=13

<u>In short, there are 13 tricycles.</u>

We know that

The square root property<span> is one method that is used to find the solutions to a quadratic equation.  This method involves taking the square roots of both sides of the equation.  
</span>(x – 3)² – 32 = 17-------> (x – 3)² = 17+32-----------> (x – 3)² = 49
(x – 3)² = 7²--------> <span>will take the square root of each side
</span>so
√(x – 3)²=(+-)√7²------> <span>notice the use of the </span> sign (+-), this will give us both a positive and<span>  a negative root
</span>
then

x-3=7--------> x=10
x-3=-7-------> x=-4

the answer Part a) is
x=10
x=-4

Part b) Explain why the given equation has two solutions.

the answer part b) is
