Question 1121677
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the number of 4-wheeled vehicles, then *[tex \Large 1000\ -\ x] must represent the number of 2-wheeled vehicles, presuming, of course, that none of the 1000 vehicles in the parking lot had a number of wheels that was different than either 2 or 4.


The total number of wheels on the 4-wheeled vehicles must then be *[tex \Large 4x]  and the total number of wheels on the 2-wheeled vehicles must be *[tex \Large 2(1000\ -\ x)].  These two quantities add up to 3442.  So:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4x\ +\ 2(1000\ -\ x)\ =\ 3442]


Solve for *[tex \Large x], then calculate *[tex \Large 1000\ -\ x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
