Answer:
16 bicycles and 21 tricycles
Step-by-step explanation:
Both bicycles and tricycles have 1 set of handlebars. Bicycles have 2 wheels while tricycles have 3.
Using this information, set up a system of equations, where b is the number of bicycles and t is the number of tricycles:
b + t = 37
2b + 3t = 95
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:
-2b - 2t = -74
2b + 3t = 95
t = 21
Then, plug in 21 as t into one of the equations:
b + t = 37
b + 21 = 37
b = 16
So, there are 16 bicycles and 21 tricycles

Answer:
Diego is 14 years old.
Sister is 19
Step-by-step explanation:
x = Diego's age
<u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>4</u>
2x-9 = 2
First to get rid of the fraction we multiply each side by 2
2(2x-9) = 2((x+24)/2)
4x-18 = x+24
The we isolate x
4x-18 = x+24
<u>-x+18 -x+18</u>
<u>3x</u> = <u>42</u> Now we divide each side 3
3 3
x = 14
So Diego is 14
Now we can solve for his sister. We can use one of the two equations from earlier to do this.
Plug 14 in for x and then solve for his sister
2(14)-9
28-9
19
His sister is 19
