Question

Everyday an automobile factory assembles 46 more cars than trucks.

Let ‘t’ represent the number of trucks assembled and ‘c’ represent the number of cars assembled

Find the value of ‘c’ when ‘t’ = 9

Answer 1

Explanation:

Read the description of the relationship between the number of trucks assembled, t, and the number of cars assembled, c:

Every day, the automobile factory assembles 43 more cars than trucks.

In this relationship, t is the input, and c is the output. So, you can find c by adding 43 to t.

Express this relationship as a function.

c=t+43

Substitute 8 for t in the function to find the value of c.

c

= t+43

= 8+43

= 51

When t=8, c=51.

Answer 2

55

Explanation:

46 more cars than the 9 trucks = 46+9=55 cars

46+t=c
