There are 16 boxes total, and 45 wheels total.
we know that each bicycle/tricycle is in it's own box.
i'm going to use the variable "b" for bicycle and "t" for tricycle
b + t = 16
(because b is the amount of bicycles and t is the amount of tricycles)
now we know that there are 45 wheels total.
there are 2 wheels for a bicycle and 3 wheels for a tricycle
2b + 3t = 45
now we have a system of equations
b + t = 16
2b + 3t = 45
You can solve this multiple ways, but I'm going to use substitution.
b + t = 16 can also be written as b = 16 - t (if you subtract both sides by t)
then we can substitute this b = 16 - t into the other equations
2(16 - t) + 3t = 45
32 - 2t + 3t = 45
32 + t = 45
t = 13
now you can plug that back into the original equations
b + 13 = 16
b = 3
2b + 3(13) = 45
2b + 39 = 45
2b = 6
b = 3

Answer:
Power of a quotient property
Step-by-step explanation:
It is power of a quotient property, when you have different bases, whose quotient(division) is raised to the same power, it is equal to dividing, each base raised to same power.
Here, x and y are different bases and 3 is the common power to both of them.
In general for any power, say m :
Because,
And,
i.e
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points
and
is
So the midpoint of your segment is
Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
-3x(4x-2)
Mutiply the bracket by -3x
(-3x)(4x) = -12x^ 2
(-3x)(-2)= 6x
Answer: -12x^2+6x
