Retro rides is a club for owners of vintage cars and motorcycles. every year the club gets together for a ride. this year, 38 vehicles participated in the ride. the total number of tires of all the vehicles was 114. assuming each car has 4 tires and each motorcycle has 2 tires, how many each of cars and motorcycles participated in the ride? a. 16 cars; 22 motorcycles b. 23 cars; 15 motorcycles c. 19 cars; 19 motorcycles d. 21 cars; 17 motorcycles

C. 19 cars; 19 motorcycles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of cars and m represent the number of motorcycles that participated this year.

This year a total of 38 vehicles participated. So, we can write the equation as:

c + m = 38                                                (Equation 1)

Each car has 4 tires, so number of tires in c cars will be 4c.

Each motorcycle has 2 tires, so number of tires in m motorcycles will be 2m.

In total there were 114 tires, so we can set up the equation as:

4c + 2m = 114                                          (Equation 2)

From equation 1, m = 38 - c. Using this value in Equation 2, we get:

4c + 2(38 - c) = 114

4c + 76 - 2c = 114

2c = 114 - 76

2c = 38

c = 19

Using this value in equation 1, we get:

19 + m = 38

m = 19

Thus, 19 cars and 19 motorcycles participated in the ride.

hj=3x+20

ji=15x-64

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
