<h2>Hello!</h2><h2>Let me help you.</h2>

As I understand, you need to write an equation that relates $t \ and \ y$ . This problem will be solved using equations. The problem states:

<em>Nick bought t candies and divided them equally between his y friends and me. Each of us got 7 candies.</em>

<em />

From this statement, we know that:

t: Number of candies Nick bought.

y: Number of friends.

Since I am included in this problem, the number of people involved here can be expressed as:

$y+1$

Since each of us got 7 candies, then it is true that:

$\frac{t}{y+1}=7 \\ \\ t=7(y+1)$

<em>So t (number of candies) is a function of y(number of friends).</em>

Answer:

There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:

13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57

11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53

10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53

8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51

10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39

9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49

Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
