#6 Requests for scooters were
exceptionally high this
Christmas season. Santa
counted one more than triple
the number of bikes as
scooters. If there were a
total of 1809 bikes and
scooters altogether, how
many scooters were
requested this year?

d i think

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the correct answer is -32

step-by-step explanation:

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
