there are 8 cars in the parking area.
Let the number of cars be x
and the number of motorcycle be y
according to the first condition,
x + y = 20 ------- (1)
according to the second condition,
4x + 2y = 56 ------- (2)
multiplying equation 1 by 4
4x + 4y = 80 ------- (3)
subtracting equation 2 from 3
4x + 4y = 80
- 4x + 2y = 56
2y = 24
Therefore,
y = 24
2
y = 12
Therefore there are 12 motorcycles in the parking area
substituting the value of y in equation 1
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 - 12
x = 8
Therefore there are 8 cars.
