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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

111 spots

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex]y=\frac{15x}{4}-9\\\\[/tex]

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:

[tex]y=\frac{15x}{4}-9,\ \ x=32\\\\=\frac{15\times 32}{4}-9\\\\=120-9\\\\=111[/tex]

Hence, there are 111 spots in the parking lot.

111 spots  there your answer ! :)
