Let t = # of tricycles; let b = # of bikes.  

# of trike wheels is 3t; # of bike wheels is 2b.  Total number of wheels is 79, which equals 3t + 2b.   t+b = 28, so t=28-b.  

Subst. 28-b for t in the first equation:

3(28-b) + 2b = 79.  Then 84-3b + 2b = 79, or 5 = b (answer)

There were (28-5) = 23 trikes, 5 bikes, and 28 seats.
