it looks very very much like a homework question and i probably shouldn't be answering it for you. but then, you spent 5 pts on this and you deserve to get an answer
oookkk then
no. of ppl = no. of bikes + 1
let the no.of ppl be p
let the no of biles be b
p = b + 1
two trips equals the person going on a trip is half the original number of ppl = 0.5p
therefore 0.5p = b - 3 (3 is unused)
thus
0.5p = b - 3
p = 2b - 6
but p also = b + 1
2b - 6 = b + 1
b = 7
therefore there are 7 bikes.
therefore there are 7 ppl having bikes.
hope this helps ^^
