4 x 15 = 60 - 16 = 44

calculista

Let

x-------> the total number of empty spaces in the bike racks

y------> the total number of spaces in the bike racks

z-------> the total number of bike in the bike racks

we know that

\(x=y-z\\ y=15*4=60\\ z=16\)

\(x=y-z\\ x=60-16\\ x=44\)

therefore

the answer is

the total number of empty spaces in the bike racks is \(44\)

the expression is equal to

\(x=4*15-16\)
