A factory makes both bicycles and tricycles.
Each bicycle has two wheels and three stickers, and
each tricycle has three wheels and five stickers.

On a recent day, the factory made both bicycles and tricycles. They used 120 wheels and 190 stickers.

Wheels Equation::: 2b + 3t = 120 wheels
Stickers Equation: 3b + 5t = 190 stickers
