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

Answer:

15 trucks

Step-by-step 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, $x+x-8=22$

$2x-8=22$

$2x=22+8$

$2x=30$

$x=\frac{30}{2}$

$x=15$

Hence there are 15 repaired trucks .
