Let no. of bicycles = x
No.of wheels of bicycles = 2x
Total no. of cycles= 10
No.of tricycles = 10- x
No. of wheels of tricycles = 3(10-x)
Total no. of wheels = 24
No.of wheels of bicycles + No.of wheels of tricycles = 24
2x + 3(10-x) = 24
2x + 30 - 3x = 24
30-x = 24
-x = 24-30
-x = -6
x = 6
no. of bicycles = 6
no. of tricycles = 10-6 = 4
