There were 15 trucks repaired and 7 cars repaired.

Answer:

15 trucks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trucks be x

Since we are given that There were 8 less cars than trucks.

So, Number of cars = x-8

We are also given that there are 22 repaired cars an trucks in total.

So, [tex]x+x-8=22[/tex]

[tex]2x-8=22[/tex]

[tex]2x=22+8[/tex]

[tex]2x=30[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{30}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=15[/tex]

Hence there are 15 repaired trucks .
