Let the capacity of bus be x students
And van be y students, now ;
From the given statements we get two equations ~
multiply the equation (2) with 2 [ it won't change the values ]
Now, deduct equation (1) from equation (3)
Therefore each bus can carry (x) = 45 students
Now, plug the value of x in equation (1) to find y ~
Hence, each van can carry (y) = 17 students in total.
Slope Intercept Form - y = mx + b
First you need the slope or m which in the first equation is 6 and in the second is 5
Next the y-intercept or b which in the first equation is -4 and in the second is -3
Here is an image of both equation plotted on a graph where the first equation is purple and the second is green
Hope this helps, if you need anything else i will edit it in :)
edit: The to lines intercept at the point (1,2)
Sorry, i wasn't completely sure what you needed i haven't done this in a while. If you still need more, I'll try to help.
