Good morning Riddle Masters! Happy Friday! :)

It’s time for the third and final riddle for the week:

At the playground, there are a total of ten bicycles and tricycles. If the combined number of wheels is twenty-four, how many tricycles are there?

How are you all going with this one? We know you love a good brain teaser, so have a good, long, hard think about this one and see if you can come up with the answer. If you think you know it, post it in the comments below.

Good luck and Happy Riddle-ing! ;)
Four tricycles 🤗
 
Either 6 tricycles and 3 bikes (18 + 6) or 4 tricycles and 6 bikes (12 + 12)
 
Time for algebra,
assume there are n tricycles so there are 10 - n bicycles.
so n tricycles have 3xn or 3n wheels
(10-n) bicycles have 2(10-n) wheels or 20-2n wheels
so 3n + 20-2n = 24
n + 20 = 24
n = 4 tricycles
and 10- n = 6 bicycles.
Whos said algebra was useless ?































































































































Assume there are n tricycles then there are 10-n bicycles



So there
