Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call:
: the number of large cars.
: the number of small cars.
Then, you can set up the following system of equations:
You can use the Elimination Method:
- Multiply the first equation by -4.0
- Add both equations.
- Solve for l.
≈
Substitute 
into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>
<em> </em>
You would do 2 divided by 9 to get that each person would have 2/9 of a gallon or .22 of a gallon. I hope this helps.
1. The "triangle inequality" states that any of the sides of the triangle, is larger than the difference of the other 2 sides (the larger minus the smaller), and it is smaller than the sum of them.
2. So the third side of this triangle must be larger than 14-8=6 (in) and smaller than 14+8=22 (in)
3. So let a denote the remaining side, then 6 < a < 22, which means a can be any number in between 6 and 22 inches.
For Ax+By=C, we have y=-3x. We want both the y and x variable on the same side, and that leads us to either subtract y from both sides or add 3x to both sides. You can do either, but I personally prefer the latter, so we have 3x+y=0. We have A=3 (since that is the coefficient for x) and B=1 (since 1*y=y). Lastly, C=0
