Use b for bicycles b and t for tricycles.
We know that each bicycle has 2 wheels, and each tricycle has 3 wheels, and if the entire number of wheels is 57, that means the
equation would be: 2b + 3t = 57
We can "separate" b by calling it "25 - t" as an alternative,
2(25 - t) + 3t = 57, or
50 - 2t + 3t = 57,
or 50 + t = 57, so
t = 7 So there must be 18 bicycles and 7 tricycles.
CHECKING:You can check this out by multiplying 7 tricycles x 3 wheels, which is 21,
and 18 bicycles x 2 wheels, which is 36
36 + 21 = 57
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
- h(x) = (f ο g)(x)
- h(x) =
- f(x) =
<h3>To find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<u>We know that:</u>
<u>Substitute x with g(x) and solve for g(x):</u>
- =
- x + 5 = g(x) + 2
- x + 3 = g(x)
- g(x) = x + 3
