Let x be the number of racing bikes, and let y be the number of mountain bikes.
1) 140x + 110y = 26150
2) 180x + 120y = 31800
Solve for one of the variables and plug that in to the other equation:
From equation 1: 140x = 26150 - 110y
x = (26150-110y)/140
Plug this into equation 2:
180((26150-110y)/140) = 31800
Solve for y, and find that y = 85 (the number of mountain bikes).
Plug that y into either equation to find x:
140x + 110(85) = 26150
x = 120 (the number of racing bikes).
So the answer is: 120 racing bikes and 85 mountain bikes.

Is y = 0.5x - 1 a liner function

$\text{Yes, it is a linear function}\\\\\text{The reason why it's a linear function is because there is a constant change}\\\\\text{The constant change would be your slope, and the slope in this case}\\\text{is 0.5}\\\\\text{If you plug this equation in a graph, it would be a straight line forever}\\\\\text{If you want to know if a line is linear, just check the slope to see if it's}\\\text{constant.}$
