Question

DMAS

Answer 1

Answer: 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars washed last year be denoted as x.

This year, he washed 14 fewer cars than during last year's car wash. This will be denoted as x-14.

We can then represent them in an equation as:

x + (x - 14) = 96

2x - 14 = 96

2x = 96 + 14

2x = 110

x = 110/2

x = 55

Therefore, he washed 55 cars this year
