Answer:

16 bicycles and 21 tricycles

Step-by-step explanation:

Both bicycles and tricycles have 1 set of handlebars. Bicycles have 2 wheels while tricycles have 3.

Using this information, set up a system of equations, where b is the number of bicycles and t is the number of tricycles:

b + t = 37

2b + 3t = 95

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:

-2b - 2t = -74

2b + 3t = 95

t = 21

Then, plug in 21 as t into one of the equations:

b + t = 37

b + 21 = 37

b = 16

So, there are 16 bicycles and 21 tricycles
