Let x be the number of motorcycles and y be the number of cars...each car has 4 wheels and each motorcycle has 2...so we have
4x + 2y = 310 we have more variables than equations, so there will be multiple integer solutions
Here's a graph of all the possibilities......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/wsaqqgkn4p
Some are (4, 147), (10, 135), (22. 111), (40, 75)....etc.

6x^3+38x^2+18x+2=0
This polynomial doesn't factor........here's a graph of the solution.....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/nncnoxpewo
There are three real roots at -5.828, -1/3 and -.172
(We actually could have found the second zero by using the Factor Theorem....this would have led to a quadratic that could be solved with the Quadratic Formula.....!! )
