the parking garage will add 2 new levels of parking spaces. each new level will have twice the number of parking spaces as the ole levels. how many parking spaces in all will be on these 2 new levels?
Step-by-step explanation:
If each new level will have twice the number of parking spaces as the old levels, then the number of parking spaces on each new level will be twice the number of parking spaces on each old level.
Let's denote the number of parking spaces on each old level as \( x \). Therefore, the number of parking spaces on each new level will be \( 2x \).
Since there are 2 new levels, the total number of parking spaces on these 2 new levels will be \( 2(2x) = 4x \).
So, the total number of parking spaces on these 2 new levels will be 4 times the number of parking spaces on each old level.
