Question

Answer 1

Two wheeled cart = 12, Four wheeled cart = 8

Explanation:

Given:

In Mario Kart Royale, you have your choice of using a four wheeled cart or a 2 wheeled bike to compete.

If there are 20 total vehicles and 56 totals wheels.

Question asked:

How many of each type of vehicle are in the race?

Solution:

Let total number of two wheeled cart =
`x`

As given that there are 20 total vehicles.

That means, total number of four wheeled cart =
`20-x`

Total number of wheels = 56

Total wheels of two wheeled cart + Total wheels of four wheeled cart = 56

`2* x+4(20-x)=56\\ \\ 2x+80-4x=56\\\\ -2x+80=56`

Subtracting both sides by 80

`-2x+80-80=56-80\\\\ -2x=-24`

Minus canceled by minus

`2x=24\\`

Dividing both sides by 2

`x=12`

Total number of two wheeled cart =
`x` = 12

Total number of four wheeled cart =
`20-x` = 20 - 12 = 8

Thus, there are 12 two wheeled cart and 8 four wheeled cart in Mario Kart Royale.
