Vehicle assembly

You have 36 wheels and 10 steering wheels. How many cars and motorcycles can you assemble? (Cars have 4 wheels and 1 steering wheel; motorcycles have 2 wheels and 1 steering wheel.)

Final Answer:

a =  8
m =  2

Step-by-step explanation:


36=4a+2m
a+m=10

36=4·a+2·m
a+m=10

4a+2m = 36
a+m = 10

Row 2 - 1/4 · Row 1 → Row 2
4a+2m = 36
0.5m = 1


m = 1/0.5 = 2
a = 36-2m/4 = 36-2 · 2/4 = 8

a = 8
m = 2
