A company owns two dealerships, both of which sell cars and trucks. The first dealership sells a total of 164 cars and trucks. The second dealership sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as the first dealership, and sells a total of 229 cars and trucks.
An equation for the total cars and trucks for dealership A:
An equation for the total cars and trucks for dealership B:
How many cars did dealership A sell?
How many trucks did the dealership B sell?
Equation for dealership A:
C + T = 164 (C represents cars, T represents trucks)
Equation for dealership B:
2C + (1/2)T = 229
To find how many cars dealership A sold, we need to solve for C in the equation for dealership A. We can do this by rearranging the equation:
C = 164 - T
Now we can substitute this expression for C into the equation for dealership B and solve for T:
2C + (1/2)T = 229
2(164 - T) + (1/2)T = 229
328 - 2T + (1/2)T = 229
(1/2)T = -99
T = -198
This doesn't make sense - we can't have negative trucks! So there must be an error in the problem setup or in the calculations.
