Question

A new parking lot is being built for a medical office. The expression representing the number of parking spots in the new lot is StartFraction 15 x over 4 EndFraction minus 9, where x represents the number of parking spots in the first row. How many spots are in the parking lot if there are 32 parking spots in the first row?

Answer 1

111 spots there your answer ! :)

Answer 2

111 spots

Explanation:

Let y denote the total number of parking spots expressed as:

`y=(15x)/(4)-9\\\\`

Given that x is the number of spots in the first row.

-Now, given that the first row has 32 spots, we substitute in the expression to solve for y:

`y=(15x)/(4)-9,\ \ x=32\\\\=(15* 32)/(4)-9\\\\=120-9\\\\=111`

Hence, there are 111 spots in the parking lot.
