a) Let's represent the number of cars sold by Dealership A as "x" and the number of trucks as "y".
So, the equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership A is:
x + y = 164
b) According to the given information, Dealership B sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as Dealership A. So, the equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership B is:
2x + (1/2)y = 229
c) To find the number of cars sold by Dealership A, we can use the equation x + y = 164. Since we're only interested in the number of cars, we can solve for x as follows:
x = 164 - y
d) Considering that Dealership B sold half as many trucks as Dealership A, we can represent the number of trucks sold by Dealership B as (1/2)y. So, the number of trucks sold by Dealership B is (1/2)y.
A company owns two dealerships, both of which sell cars and trucks. Dealership A sells a total of 164 cars and trucks. Dealership B sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as Dealership A, and sells a total of 229 cars and trucks.
