In last Saturdays parade Tom counted a total of 76 bicycles and tricycles, for a total of 227 wheels. How many tricycles were in the parade?

i got a
73 x 3 =219 wheels in tricycle
3 x 2 = 6 wheels in bicycle
for a total of only 225 wheels im short by 2 wheels
B + T = 76
2B + 3T = 227

T = 75
B = 1

3*75 = 225
2*1 = 2
-----------
total: 227
