Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = one point shots
y = two point shots
1) Setup your equations.
x + y = 52
x + 2y = 89
2) Isolate a variable.
x = 52-y
3) Plug in.
(52-y) + 2y = 89
52 +y =89
y=37
4) Solve for x.
x = 52 -37
x=15
5) Check your answer.
15 + 2(37) = 89
15+74=89
89=89
37+15 = 52
52=52
x = one point shots
y = two point shots
1) Setup your equations.
x + y = 52
x + 2y = 89
2) Isolate a variable.
x = 52-y
3) Plug in.
(52-y) + 2y = 89
52 +y =89
y=37
4) Solve for x.
x = 52 -37
x=15
5) Check your answer.
15 + 2(37) = 89
15+74=89
89=89
37+15 = 52
52=52
2 trikes (6 wheels) and 47 bikes (94 wheels)
or
4 trikes (12 wheels) and 44 bikes (88 wheels)
or
6 trikes (18 wheels) and 41 bikes (82 wheels)
or
8 trikes (24 wheels) and 38 bikes (76 wheels)
or
10 trikes (30 wheels) and 35 bikes (70 wheels)
As long as you start our with an even number of trikes, you'll find a way to use up all the tires with no remainders.
710,000 the thousands column is less than 5 therefore the answer is 710,000
