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

The length of a kitchen wall is 24 2/3 feet long. A border will be placed along the wall of the kitchen. If the border strips ar
krek1111 [17]

Total length of the kitchen wall = 24 2/3 feet.

Let us convert 24 2/3 feet into improper fracion.

24 2/3 = (24*3+2)/3 = 74/3 feet.

Length of each strip = 1 3/4 feet.

Let us convert 1/3/4 feet in improper fracion.

1 3/4 feet = (1*4+3)/4 = 7/4 feet.

Total number of strips required = (Total length of the kitchen wall) ÷ (Length of each strip)

= 74/3 feet ÷ 7/4 feet.

Let us convert division sign into multiplication, we get

74/3 × 4/7.

Multiplying across, we get

296/21.

On dividing 296 by 21, we get 14.09 approximately.

14.09 represents more than 14.

So, we can round it to the next whole number, that is 15.

Therefore, 15 strips of border are needed.

What are the solution(s) of x2-4-0?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

For x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

x^2 - 4 = 0

Now, using the ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

Comparing this with the above expression, we get

x^2 - 4 = 0  = x^2 - (2)^2 = 0\\\implies (x-2)(x+2) = 0

⇒Either (x-2) = 0 , or ( x + 2) = 0

So, if ( x- 2)   = 0 ⇒ x =  2

and if ( x + 2) = 0   ⇒ x = -2

Hence, for x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

        60° + ∠BCA + 50° = 180°

                           ∠BCA = 180° – 110°

                           ∠BCA = 70°

Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is given below.

Use the diagram showing m || n, as well as the relationships between interior and exterior angles of ΔABC, to answer the questions.
