Let's assume that the number of cars sold by dealership A is "x" and the number of trucks sold by dealership A is "y".
According to the given information, we know that the total number of cars and trucks sold by dealership A is 225. So we have the equation:
x + y = 225
Now, we also know that dealership B sells twice as many cars as dealership A, so the number of cars sold by dealership B is 2x. Similarly, dealership B sells half as many trucks as dealership A, so the number of trucks sold by dealership B is (1/2)y.
According to the given information, dealership B also sells a total of 300 cars and trucks. So we have the equation:
2x + (1/2)y = 300
We now have a system of equations where we can solve for the values of x and y using the Desmos graphing calculator.
