Class A: 6v + 8b = 202

Class B: 12v + 16b = 284

Solve using the elimination method:
since 6v and 12v are perfect for elimination, multiply the class A equation by 2 so that the van variable cancels out: 

12v + 16b = 404
12v + 10b = 284

Then subtract the bottom equation from the top:

6b = 120
b = 20 

Now you know that each bus can hold 20 students.
Just plug this into one of the original equations to solve for vans:

6v + 8(20) = 202
6v + 160 = 202
6v = 42 
v=7 

So then you know that each van can hold 7 students. 

Check:
12 (7) + 10 (20) = 284

The product of two numbers is 20. If one of the numbers is 5/14, what is the other number

Answer:

56 is the other number

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be a

the other number is 5/14 from the question

a x 5/14 = 20

5a/14 = 20

5a = 14  x 20 = 280

a = 280/5 = 56

v = hvh

Simplifying the above equation:

v = h × v × h

Taking the RHS 'v' to LHS

⇒ v ÷ v = h × h

⇒ 1 = h × h

⇒ 1 = h^{2}

⇒ h = √1

⇒ h = \left \{ {{h=1} \atop {h=-1}} \right.

So h can have the values +1 or -1.

Putting h = +1 in the equation,

v = (+1) × v × (+1)

⇒ v = v

Hence, v can take any integer value.

Putting h = -1 in the equation, when h = 1.

v = (-1) × v × (-1)

⇒ v = v

Hence, v can take any integer value when h = -1.

Hence, as long as h is either +1 or -1, v can take any integer value.
