Answer 1

Let's call bicycles 'b' and unicycles 'u'
Note that bicycles have 2 tires, and unicycles have 1 tire.

We can make two equations:

b = u + 8
2b + 1u = 46

Solving the first equation for u, we get:

u = b - 8

Plug that equation into the second, and we get:

2b + (b - 8) = 46

Subtract 2b on both sides.

1(b - 8) = 46 - 2b

Basically, I used b and your question used n.

The correct answer is: D. 1(n - 8) = 46 - 2n.
