There were 178 old cars at the junkyard. then a truck brought in some more cars. now there are a total of 236 cars in the junkyard. how many cars did the truck bring into the junkyard

The correct answer is 58 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cars in the junkyard before the truck arrived with some = 178

Cars after the truck brought into the junkyard some more= 236

Cars brought in by the truck = 236 - 178

Cars brought into the junkyard by the truck = 58

The number of cars brought by the truck is 58 cars.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
