Question

in a shop,there was a total of 93 bicycles and tricycles ,.Each bicycle had 2 wheels and each tricycles had 3 wheels .There were a total of 211 wheels . How many bicycles were there in the shop?​

Answer 1

(x stands for bicycles btw!!)

2x + 3(93 - x) = 211

2x + 279 - 3x = 211

-x = 211 - 279 = -68

x = -68/-1 = 68.

68 bikes :))))))

Answer 2

68 bicycles.

Explanation:

Let there be x bicycles, then there are (93 - x) tricycles.

From the given values:

2x + 3(93 - x) = 211

2x + 279 - 3x = 211

-x = 211 - 279 = -68

x = -68/-1 = 68.
