Number of students = 132
Number of buses = 3
Number of vans = 9

<u>High School B:</u>
Number of students = 205
Number of buses = 8
Number of vans = 3
As per question,

Multiplying equation (2) by -3 and adding the result to equation (1), we get:
Now, plug in 23 for 'y' in equation (1) and solve for 'x'. This gives,
Therefore, the number of students in each van are 7 and number of students in each bus are 23
