Answer:
B = 4
T = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, figure out the equation.
We know that bicycles have 2 wheels, that there are 3 on a tricycle, and there are a total of 14 wheels and a total of 6 bicycles and tricycles.
Let b stand for bicycles and t stand for tricycles:
14 = 2b + 3t
6 = b + t
We can figure out the amount of either by rearranging the second equation to isolate one variable. I will solve it in two ways
In the first way, I will solve for b
(-t) 6 = b + t (-t)
6 - t = b
Plug this into the first equation and solve for remaining variable
14 = 2(6 - t) +3t
14 = 12 - 2t + 3t
14 = 12 +t
-12 -12
2 = t
6 - 2 = b
b = 4
The second way was to solve for t first
(-b) 6 = b + t (-b)
6 - b = t
14 = 2b + 3(6 - b)
14 = 2b + 18 - 3b
(-18) 14 = 18 -b (-18)
-4/-1 = -b/-1
b = 4
6 - 4 = t
t = 2
It doesn't matter which way you go, they both give you the exact same answer.
Sooo, recap!
1) write equations
2) switch the easier of the two to isolate one variable
3) substitute to find other variable (x2)
4) Find answers! =D
Hope this helps!
Answer:
9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A. distribute the X to the X in the parenthesis and you get 2x. Then distribute the X to the -7 in the parenthesis and you get -7x. Combine like terms so that would be 2x-7x and you get -5x.
C. distribute the 6x to the X in the parenthesis and you get 7x. Then distribute the 6x to the 2 in parenthesis and you get 8x. Combine like terms so that would be 7x+8x and you get 15x.
E. Not sure on this one, sorry.
34/85%=34/0.85=40
So that's your answer.
