4. However, you can do this in a Calculator.
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:
Your answer is 62 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You can cross off 1 & 2, as they are too small.
Lets split this up.
(2*3)+(2*3)+(3*5)+(3*5)+(2*5)+(2*5)
2*3 + 2*3 = 12
3*5 + 3*5 = 30
2*5 + 2*5 = 20
30+20+12 = 62
Answer:
10.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x
and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03
Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:
($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28
Finally, divide both sides by ($3.20/mile):
x = $33.28 / ($3.20/mile)
= 10.4 miles
Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.
