wheels = 3 t + 2 b = 50
pedals = 2 t + 2 b = 40
so subtract second from first
1 t + 0 b = 10
t = 10
then b = 10
check
3 t = 30
2 b = 20 so 50 wheels
2 t = 20
2 b = 20 so 40 pedals
pedals = 2 t + 2 b = 40
so subtract second from first
1 t + 0 b = 10
t = 10
then b = 10
check
3 t = 30
2 b = 20 so 50 wheels
2 t = 20
2 b = 20 so 40 pedals
