The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

15 bicycles and 6 skateboards.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles and y represent the number of skateboards.  The first equation in our system is then

x+y = 21, since there are 21 total items in the shop.

Each bicycle has 2 tires and each skateboard has 4; this gives us the equation

2x+4y=54 (because they are ordering 54 tires).

This makes our system

\left \{ {{x+y=21} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right.

We will use elimination to solve this; we first need one of the variables to have the same coefficient in both equations.  We will make x the same, and we will do this by multiplying the first equation by 2:

\left \{ {{2(x+y=21)} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right.  \\&#10;\\\left \{ {{2x+2y=42} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right.

Now we will subtract the second equation from the first one:

\left \{ {{2x+2y=42} \atop {-(2x+4y=54)}} \right.  \\&#10;\\-2y=-12

Divide both sides by -2:

-2y/-2 = -12/-2

y = 6

There were 6 skateboards.  Substituting this into the first equation,

x+6 = 21

Subtract 6 from each side:

x+6-6 = 21-6

x = 15

There were 15 bicycles.

I've been having problems with this for a while...
Rina8888 [55]
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.

Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:

20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2

where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:

20×2 = 2.5 × x

Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).

We would then have:

20×2
------- = x
2.5

Which then simplifies to:

x = 16

Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\frac{2^{\frac{11}{2} }\times 2^{-7}\times 2^{-5}}{2^3\times 2^{\frac{1}{2} }\times 2^{-10}}

Recall and use

a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}

\frac{2^{\frac{11}{2} -7-5}}{ 2^{3+\frac{1}{2} -10}}

\frac{2^{-\frac{13}{2}}}{ 2^{-\frac{13}{2}}}

Same bases are dividing, so we write one base and subtract the exponent.

2^{-\frac{13}{2}+\frac{13}{2}}

2^0=1
