The coefficient is 2 because it is being multiplied by the p.
Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

About $0.37 because you divide $4.49 by 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-4y=-4 ...(1)
25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2)
multiply (1) by -5 you have : 25x+ 20y = 20 ....(2) same equation , same line
so : The system has infinitely solutions.
128/7 is roughly 18.3 so you would need 19 vans. 18 of them would fit all 7 so you’d have 126 so the last van would fit 2 students meaning it won’t be full
