    C. 19 cars; 19 motorcycles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let c represent the number of cars and m represent the number of motorcycles that participated this year.

    This year a total of 38 vehicles participated. So, we can write the equation as:

    c + m = 38 (Equation 1)

    Each car has 4 tires, so number of tires in c cars will be 4c.

    Each motorcycle has 2 tires, so number of tires in m motorcycles will be 2m.

    In total there were 114 tires, so we can set up the equation as:

    4c + 2m = 114 (Equation 2)

    From equation 1, m = 38 - c. Using this value in Equation 2, we get:

    4c + 2 (38 - c) = 114

    4c + 76 - 2c = 114

    2c = 114 - 76

    2c = 38

    c = 19

    Using this value in equation 1, we get:

    19 + m = 38

    m = 19

    Thus, 19 cars and 19 motorcycles participated in the ride.
