Answer:

26=x

Step-by-step explanation:

well you need to do the distributive property.

-3(x-2) = -6x+6

9(x+8) = 9x+72

-6x+6=9x+72

now you subtract -6x from -6x and 9x

and add 72 to 6

-6x +6 =9x + 72

-6x + 72 -6x -72

78=3x

divide them both by 3

26=x

21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
$\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
subtract terms
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right. = (-2x = -42)$
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32
