Question

Juanito looked out the window and saw 20 bicycles and skateboards. There were a total 52 wheels. How many of each did he see , steps ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's denote:

x: number of bicycles

y: number of  skateboards

Then, we have:

x + y = 20

2x + 4y = 52

=> 2(20 - y) + 4y = 52

=> 2y = 12

=> y = 6 (number of skateboards)

=> x = 14(number of bicycles)

Hope this helps!
