\n" ); document.write( "Number of bicycles= $\"b=4x-1\"$ , four times the no. of tricycles less 1
\n" ); document.write( "Number if tricycles= $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, number of wheels
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%284x-1%29%2B3x=174wheels\"$ , EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-2%2B3x=174\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"11x=174%2B2=176\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%2811%29x%2Fcross%2811%29=cross%28176%2916%2Fcross%2811%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=16\"$ , Number of tricycles
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2A16-1=64-1=63\"$ Number of bicycles
\n" ); document.write( "check, via EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A63%2B3%2A16=174\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"126%2B48=174\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"174=174\"$
