Simplifying
j = (2j + 3)
Reorder the terms:
j = (3 + 2j)
Remove parenthesis around (3 + 2j)
j = 3 + 2j
Solving
j = 3 + 2j
Solving for variable 'j'.
Move all terms containing j to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2j' to each side of the equation.
j + -2j = 3 + 2j + -2j
Combine like terms: j + -2j = -1j
-1j = 3 + 2j + -2j
Combine like terms: 2j + -2j = 0
-1j = 3 + 0
-1j = 3
Divide each side by '-1'.
j = -3
Simplifying
j = -3
Given:
The number of seats in the first row is <em>a</em>₁ = 12.
The series of the increasing number of seats is 12, 14, 16......
The objective is to find the total number of seats in the first 12 rows.
Explanation:
The difference between the number of seats in each row can be calculated by the difference between the successive terms of the series.

The number of rows to be calculated is <em>n</em> = 12.
To find the number of seats:
The number of seats presents in the first 12 rows can be calculated as,

On plugging the obtained values in the above equation,

Hence, the total number of seats in the first 12 rows is 276.
Hey there!
The answer is C.
First of all, let's assign variables. We can use t for tricycles and b for bicycles.
Next let's look at the first statement:
"There are at most 12 bicycles and tricycles in a school playground."
"At most" means the number 12 will be included in the inequality, so the sum of b and t is at most 12.
We can write this as b + t ≤ 12.
Now we can look at the second statement:
"There are at least 17 wheels altogether."
"At least" means the number 17 will be included in the inequality.
Since each bicycle has 2 wheels and each tricycle has 3 wheels, the sum of 2b and 3t is at least 17.
That can be written as 2b + 3t ≥ 17.
Our final system of inequalities:
b + t ≤ 12
2b + 3t ≥ 17
This matches option C.
Hope this helps!
