Let's say the number of cars sold by Dealership A is C and the number of trucks sold by Dealership A is T. According to the problem, Dealership A sells a total of 164 cars and trucks, so we can write the equation:
C + T = 164
Now let's find the number of cars and trucks sold by Dealership B. It is given that Dealership B sells twice as many cars as Dealership A and half as many trucks as Dealership A. So, the number of cars sold by Dealership B is 2C and the number of trucks sold by Dealership B is (1/2)T. The total number of cars and trucks sold by Dealership B is given to be 229, so we can write another equation:
2C + (1/2)T = 229
Therefore, the equation for the total number of cars and trucks sold by Dealership B is 2C + (1/2)T = 229.
a company owns two dealerships both of which sell cars and trucks. Dealership A sells a total of 164 cars and trucks dearlership B sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as Dealership A. and sells a total of 229 cars and trucks
