According to the question statement, the total sum of students is 221, which includes the students that ride on bus and the students that ride in a van.
The students that ride in a van are five, the students that ride on bus are 6 times s which is the product of the number of buses and the number of students that are on each bus.
Write all this information into an equation, this way:
Now, solve the equation for s to find the number of students that are on each bus.
There are 36 students on each bus.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the 2 other sides, that is
x² + 6² = 17²
x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = → C
