Answer:

There are 24 students and teachers that rode in vans, and there are 385 students and teachers that rode in buses.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to set up a system of equations where:

<em>b= number of buses</em>

<em>v= number of vans</em>

We know from the equation that each bus transported 55 people and that each van transported 12 people and that there was a total of 409 people transported. We also know that the number of buses was 5 more than the number of vans.

Knowing that we can set up our system:

\left \{ {{55b+12v=409} \atop {b=v+5\\}} \right.

Since we know what <em>b</em> is equal to, we can now use the substitution method to plug the value of <em>b</em> from the bottom equation into the one on the top and solve for variable <em>v.</em>

55(<em>v </em>+5)+12<em>v </em>=409

From there we can distribute 55 into (v+5)

55<em>v </em>+275+12<em>v </em>=409

We can now combine like terms.

67<em>v</em> +275 = 409

From there we subtract 275 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

67<em>v +</em>275 = 409

      -275    -275


After doing this, we now divide both sides of the equation by 67 to solve for <em>v.</em>

\frac{67v}{67} =\frac{134}{67}

We now know that <em>v, </em>the number of vans is 2 and can plug that into our bottom equation from our system of equations (b=v+5).

b=2+5\\b=7

Knowing that there are 7 buses and 2 vans, we can now plug these numbers into the terms in the top equation of our system. <em>55b </em><em>and </em><em>12v.</em>

55(7)=385

12(2)= 24\\

385 people rode buses. 24 people rode vans

Check your equation

409 people went in total. 385 + 24 = 409.

Write an expression to represent: "the difference of 8 squared and a number"
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The expression is (64 - x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is:

"the difference of 8 squared and a number"

Let the number be denoted by <em>x</em>.

The value of 8 squared is:

8^{2}=8\times 8\\

   =64

Then the expression for the provided statement is:

(64 - x)

Thus, the expression is (64 - x).
