28. PARKING The lines of the parking space shown below are parallel. How wide is the space (in inches)?

SOLUTION: Since the distance between two parallel lines is the same, we can write the equation 6x + 12 = 5x + 20 and then solve for x.

6x + 12 = 5x + 20 x + 12 = 20 x = 8

Substitute x = 8 in 5x + 20.

5x + 20 = 5(8) + 20 = 60

So, the length of the space is 60 inches.
