An 800 car parking lot id divided into 3 section there are 270 pots in section 1 and 150 more in section 2 than 3 how many spots in section 2?

Answer 1

Section 1 is (270), section 2 is (x+150) and section 3 is (x) (270)+(x+150)+(x) = 800 Remove the brackets and rearrange the equation so that the letters are on the LHS and the integers are on the RHS remembering to change the + signs into - signs where necessary: x+x = 800-270-150 Simplified to: 2x = 380 Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to find the value of x: x = 190 Therefore: Section 1 has 270 spots Section 2 has 340 spots Section 3 has 190 spots
