Answer 3

2X=20,000,000
X=20,000,000/2
X=10,000,000 NUMBER OF CARS PRODUCED IN JAPAN
22,000,000-10,000,000=12,000,000 NUMBER OF CARD PRODUCED IN US.

Answer 4

Call the total number of cars 't', the amount in the US 'u' and the amount in Japan 'j'.

We know: \[u=j+2\] and \[j+u=22\]so\[j+j+2=22\]\[2j+2=22\]\[2j=20\]\[j=10\] and \[u=j+2\]\[u=10+2\]\[u=12\]


USA produced 12million, Japan produced 10million for a total of 22million.
