Answer:
243 then 729
Step-by-step explanation:
each number is being multipled by 3.
-3(6x+5)-2(1-17x)=3(5+5x)
Mutiply the first bracket by -3
(-3)(6x)= -18x
(-3)(5)= -15
Mutiply the second bracket by -2
(-2)(1)= -2
(-2)(-17x)= 34x
Mutiply the third bracket by 3
(3)(5)= 15
(3)(5x)= 15x
-18x-15-2+34x= 15+15x
-18x+34x-15-2= 15+15x
16x-17= 15+15x
move 15 to the other side
sign changes from +15 to -15
16x-17-15= 15-15+15x
16x-32= 15x
move -32 to the other side
sign changes from -32 to +32
16x-32+32=15x+32
16x= 15x+32
move 15x to the other side
sign changes from +15x to -15x
16x-15x=15x-15x+32
x= 32
Answer: x= 32
Answer:
400cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Total surface area of a prism includes the area of the top and bottom triangle sides of the prism, plus the area of all 3 rectangular sides.
Base & Bottom triangle area: 2 x [(8 x 15)/2] = 120cm²
Side triangle area: 17 x 7 + 8 x 7 + 15 x 7 = 280cm²
Total surface area = 280 + 120 = 400cm²

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.
