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
Explanation
to solve this we need to translate into math terms, so
Step 1
a) let d represents the number of dimes
let n represents the number of nickles
so
re write the expressions
The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes in other words you have to add 7 to seven times the number of dimes to obtain the number of nickles
hence
therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is
I hope this helps you
Answer:
x = -4, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute for y
2x - 5(x + 2) = 2
distribute -5
2x -5x - 10 = 2
solve
-3x - 10 = 2
add 10 on both sides
-3x = 12
divide by -3
x = -4
now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2
y = -4 + 2
y = -2
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the multiplication of its three dimensions: if 
are the width, height and length of the prism, the volume is
So, in your case, you have
(1) it can be both exterior of vertex or base. 180-130=50°
vertex is 50°: base=(180-50)/2=65°
base is 50°: vertex= 180-2*50=80°
vertex 50 base 65; vertex 80, base 50
(2)base=180-130=50°
vertex=180-2*50=80°
base 50 vertex 80
