a) The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership A is: Cars + Trucks = 164.
b) The equation for the total cars and trucks for Dealership B is: Cars + Trucks = 229.
c) To find out how many cars Dealership A sold, we can solve the equation:
Cars + Trucks = 164
Let's assume x cars were sold at Dealership A. Then, the number of trucks sold at Dealership A would be: 164 - x.
However, we don't have enough information to solve for x at the moment.
d) Considering that Dealership B sold half as many trucks as Dealership A, if we let y represent the number of trucks sold at Dealership A, then the number of trucks sold at Dealership B would be: y/2.
From the equation for Dealership B: Cars + Trucks = 229, we can substitute the variables and solve for y.
x + (y/2) = 229
However, we still don't have enough information to solve for y at the moment.
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.
