1 car - 4 wheels
1 motorcycle - 2 wheels

x - number of cars
y - number of motorcycles

so, there are 70 vehicles: x + y = 70
and all togeather they've got 258 wheels: 4*x + 2*y = 258
because each car has 4 wheels, so all car wheels = 4*x,
likewise 2*y for motorcycles

x + y = 70  /* 4
4 x + 2y = 258

4 x + 4 y = 280  (R1)
4 x + 2y = 258    (R2)

2y = 22  /:2      it is R1 - R2
x = 70 - y

y = 11    /motorcycles
x = 70 - 11 = 59  /cars

check:
59 + 11 = 70  ok
59 * 4 + 11 * 2 = 236 + 22 = 258  ok

Yes, it is an equivalent expression because even though you move two pieces of an equation it will still equal the same thing, unless there are parentheses involved.

Find the first of three consecutive even integers if the sum of the first and second is 15 less than 3 times the third.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<em>First even integer: 6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

Assume x is the first even integer. The next integer is x+2, and the last integer ix x+4.

The condition states that the sum of the first and the second number is 15 less than three times the third. This takes us to the inequality:

x+x+2

Operating:

2x+2

Subtracting 2 and 2x:

0

Simplifying:

0

Solving:

x>5

There are infinitely many solutions. For example, for x=6 (first even number into the solution interval):

First integer: 6

Second integer: 8

Third integer: 10

There are other solutions, like 20,22,24 but the first set is 6,8,10.
