The x which achieve these statement is x=0.
The width used for the car spaces are taken as a multiples of the width of
the compact car spaces.
Correct response:
- The store owners are incorrect
<h3 /><h3>Methods used to obtain the above response</h3>
Let <em>x</em><em> </em>represent the width of the cars parked compact, and let a·x represent the width of cars parked in full size spaces.
We have;
Initial space occupied = 10·x + 12·(a·x) = x·(10 + 12·a)
New space design = 16·x + 9×(a·x) = x·(16 + 9·a)
When the dimensions of the initial and new arrangement are equal, we have;
10 + 12·a = 16 + 9·a
12·a - 9·a = 16 - 10 = 6
3·a = 6
a = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
a = 2
Whereby the factor <em>a</em> < 2, such that the width of the full size space is less than twice the width of the compact spaces, by testing, we have;
10 + 12·a < 16 + 9·a
Which gives;
x·(10 + 12·a) < x·(16 + 9·a)
Therefore;
The initial total car park space is less than the space required for 16
compact spaces and 9 full size spaces, therefore; the store owners are
incorrect.

Yeah I'm not sure but I think it's 6
Turn both equations into slope-intercept form [ y = mx + b ].
x + 3y = 3
~Subtract x to both sides
3y = 3 - x
~Divide 3 to everything
y = 1 - x/3
~Reorder
y = -1/3x + 1
4x + 3y = -6
~Subtract 4x to both sides
3y = -6 - 4x
~Divide 3 to everything
y = -2 - 4x/3
~Reorder
y = -4/3x - 2
Graph of the equations will be shown below. Note that the solution of graphing two equations will be where both equations intersect. Both lines intersect at (-3, 2), hence making that the solution.
Best of Luck!
y = abˣ
20 = ab¹
20 = ab
b b
20/b = a
y = abˣ
4 = (20/b)b²
4 = 20b
20 20
¹/₅ = b
y = abˣ
20 = ¹/₅b¹
20 = ¹/₅b
¹/₅ ¹/₅
100 = b
y = abˣ
y = 100(0.2)ˣ
