Answer 1

Number of children bicycles = 117

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of adult bicycles = a = 42

Let,

x represent the number of children bicycle

According to given statement;

The number of children bicycle is nine less three times the number of adult bicycles.

x = 3a - 9

Putting a=42

x = 3(42)-9

x = 126-9

x = 117

Hence,

Number of children bicycles = 117
