thank you again

Y, please read my explanation.

To find out how many cars were in the parking lot, we need to add the number of trucks to the difference between the number of cars and trucks.

Let's break down the given information into an expression:

Let c represent the number of cars in the parking lot.
Since there are 46 more cars than trucks, we can set up the equation as:
c = 29 + 46

Simplifying the expression by adding 29 and 46:
c = 75

Therefore, the expression that shows how many cars were in the parking lot is c = 75.
