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 drama club is selling tickets for a play. The profit, y, is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

80 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit, y, modeled by the equation, y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200, where x is the number of tickets sold, we are to find the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even. To do that we will simply substitute y = 0 into the given the equation and calculate the value of x;

y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

0 = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

x^2 – 40x – 3,200 = 0

x^2 – 80x  + 40x – 3,200 = 0

x(x-80)+40(x-80) = 0

(x+40)(x-80) = 0

x = -40 and x = 80

x cannot be negative

Hence the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even is 80 tickets

What is the anwser to 3(x-4)=12x
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x=-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-12=12x

3x-12x=12

-9/-3=12/-3

then -3 cancels

3x/3=-4/3

then 3 cancels 3

so x=-4/3
