b, number of bicycles
\n" ); document.write( "t, number of tricycles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2b%2B3t=57\"-----------...,with a total of 57 wheels. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=3t-3\"------------The number of bicycles is there less than three times the number of tricycles. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving both equations for 3t, since they both have the term:
\n" ); document.write( "\"57-2b=b%2B3\"
