You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a chart like the problem says. Then look for combinations that add up to 17. For example (I know because I made the chart):
--------------------------------------------------------------
Add 2 wheels per bike, 3 wheels per trike, 4 wheels per wagon
1 bike
1 trike
3 wagons
----
17
-----------------------------------------
2 bikes
3 trikes
1 wagons
----
17
----------------------------------
4 bikes
3 wagons
