Answer:
<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>
Explanation:
|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|
<em>Solve absolute value</em>
|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|
Either 4b + 4 = 2b + 8 or 4b + 4 = −(2b + 8)
4b + 4 = 2b + 8 <em>(Possibility 1)</em>
4b + 4 − 2b = 2b + 8 − 2b <em>(Subtract 2b from both sides)</em>
2b + 4 = 8
2b + 4 − 4 = 8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>
2b = 4
2b / 2 = 4 / 2 <em>(Divide both sides by 2)</em>
b = 2
4b + 4 = −(2b + 8) <em>(Possibility 2)</em>
4b + 4 = −2b − 8 <em>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</em>
4b + 4 + 2b = −2b − 8 + 2b <em>(Add 2b to both sides)</em>
6b + 4 = −8
6b + 4 − 4 = −8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>
6b = −12
6b / 6 = -12 / 6 <em>(Divide both sides by 6)</em>
b = -2
<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>
Answer:
232 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.
At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:
64/(88 + c) = 1/5
Cross-multiply:
88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320
c = 320 - 88 = 232
Thus, the answer is 232 cars.
Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.
