(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:
68 bicycles.
Step-by-step 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.
