Answer:
2 bicycles
Step-by-step explanation:
- let no. of bicycles be x
- no.of tricycles = (6 -x)
as there were 5 bicycles and tricycles
now,
- a bicycle has 2 wheels
- a tricycle has 3 wheels
total no.of wheels = 16
2x + 3(6 - x) = 16
2x + 18 - 3x= 16
2 - x = 0
2 = x
therefore, there are 2 bicycles.
