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
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:
Now we will subtract the second equation from the first one:
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.
Answer:
It seems that your options aren't correct as the right answer is -5.3333... (recurring)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 2x + 4 = 20 + 5x (subtract by the smallest unknown)
-2x -2x
2) 4 = 20 + 3x
-20 -20 (now subtract each side by 20 as we want to leave the unknown on one side and another number on the other side.
3) -16 = 3x (Divide each side by 3)
÷3 = ÷3
4) -5.33333... = x
<h3>Now we have found x but if you're unsure you can substitute to see if your answer is correct.</h3><h3>2 x -5.3333 + 4 = -6.6666</h3><h3>20 + 5 x -5.3333= -6.6665</h3><h3>Our answer is correct! (When answers are rounded, it is equal to the same thing).</h3>

Answer:
COMPOUND PROBABILITY: John has a cookie jar with the following cookies in it. He plans to eat 2 cookes. What is the probability that he will select a Macadamia Nut Cookie AND then select a Cranberry Pecan cookie? Remember, since he is eating the cookies, he will not be replacing the cookies in the jar and the order he selects the cookies does not matter here. Simply all answers to lowest terms
