Question

An auto body shop repaired 22 cars and trucks. There were 8 less cars than trucks. How many trucks were repaired?

Answer 1

There were 15 trucks repaired and 7 cars repaired.

Answer 2

15 trucks

Explanation:

Let the number of trucks be x

Since we are given that There were 8 less cars than trucks.

So, Number of cars = x-8

We are also given that there are 22 repaired cars an trucks in total.

So,
`x+x-8=22`

`2x-8=22`

`2x=22+8`

`2x=30`

`x=(30)/(2)`

`x=15`

Hence there are 15 repaired trucks .
