Answer:

There Are 40 Bicycles And 23 Tricycles

Explanation:

Let, x be bicycles and y be tricycles

Condition 1;

: x + y= 63

: x =63-y

Condition 2;

Number Of Tires=149

:2x + 3y =149 [2x=Two Tires Of Bicycle And

3y=Three Tires Of Tricycle]

:x = 149-3y/2

Combination 1 & 2;

63-y = 149-3y/2

126-2y = 149-3y

y=23

x = 63-23

=40
