Answer:

B = 4

T = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out the equation.

We know that bicycles have 2 wheels, that there are 3 on a tricycle, and there are a total of 14 wheels and a total of 6 bicycles and tricycles.

Let b stand for bicycles and t stand for tricycles:

14 = 2b + 3t

6 = b + t

We can figure out the amount of either by rearranging the second equation to isolate one variable. I will solve it in two ways

In the first way, I will solve for b

(-t) 6 = b + t (-t)

6 - t = b

Plug this into the first equation and solve for remaining variable

14 = 2(6 - t) +3t

14 = 12 - 2t + 3t

14 = 12 +t

-12 -12

2 = t

6 - 2 = b

b = 4

The second way was to solve for t first

(-b) 6 = b + t (-b)

6 - b = t

14 = 2b + 3(6 - b)

14 = 2b + 18 - 3b

(-18) 14 = 18 -b (-18)

-4/-1 = -b/-1

b = 4

6 - 4 = t

t = 2

It doesn't matter which way you go, they both give you the exact same answer.

Sooo, recap!

1) write equations

2) switch the easier of the two to isolate one variable

3) substitute to find other variable (x2)

4) Find answers! =D

Hope this helps!

Ber [7]

Answer: 9 feet below the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scuba diver starts 40 ft below the surface. We can represent the position of the scuba diver as:

Position = -40ft

Where the negative sign is because it is below the surface of the water, so

"He swam up 12 feet to see a unique fish."

Now we need to add 12ft

Then his new position is:

Position = -40ft + 12 ft = -28ft

"He followed the fish down 8 feet.

Now we need to subtract 8ft

His new position is:

Position = -28ft - 8 ft = -36 ft

"Then he followed the fish up 27 feet."

Now we add another 27 ft.

The final position will be:

Position = -36ft + 27ft = -9ft

Then the final position of the scuba diver is -9ft, that means that he is 9 feet below the surface.

<h3>Refer to the diagram below</h3>

Draw one smaller circle inside another larger circle. Make sure the circle's edges do not touch in any way. Based on this diagram, you can see that any tangent of the smaller circle cannot possibly intersect the larger circle at exactly one location (hence that inner circle tangent cannot be a tangent to the larger circle). So that's why there are no common tangents in this situation.
Start with the drawing made in problem 1. Move the smaller circle so that it's now touching the larger circle at exactly one point. Make sure the smaller circle is completely inside the larger one. They both share a common point of tangency and therefore share a common single tangent line.
Start with the drawing made for problem 2. Move the smaller circle so that it's partially outside the larger circle. This will allow for two different common tangents to form.
Start with the drawing made for problem 3. Move the smaller circle so that it's completely outside the larger circle, but have the circles touch at exactly one point. This will allow for an internal common tangent plus two extra external common tangents.
Pull the two circles completely apart. Make sure they don't touch at all. This will allow us to have four different common tangents. Two of those tangents are internal, while the others are external. An internal tangent cuts through the line that directly connects the centers of the circles.

Refer to the diagram below for examples of what I mean.
