Let's call bicycles 'b' and unicycles 'u'
Note that bicycles have 2 tires, and unicycles have 1 tire.
We can make two equations:
b = u + 8
2b + 1u = 46
Solving the first equation for u, we get:
u = b - 8
Plug that equation into the second, and we get:
2b + (b - 8) = 46
Subtract 2b on both sides.
1(b - 8) = 46 - 2b
Basically, I used b and your question used n.
The correct answer is: D. 1(n - 8) = 46 - 2n.
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
Let x is the first no. then the other no. will obviously be (x+1)
according to question,
(x+1)²- x²= 15
x² +2x+1 - x² = 15 ( using (a+b)²= a²+ b² + 2ab )
2x + 1 = 15
2x = 14
x = 7
hence numbers are x = 7 and x +1 = 7+1 = 8
also 8²-7² = 64-49 = 15
hence the numbers are 7 and 8
