Answer:

z= 168

Step-by-step explanation:

proportion zinc to copper = 4/17

4/17 = z/ 714

17 • z = 4 • 714

17 • z = 2856

z= 2856/17

z = 168

Answer:

Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46

Step-by-step explanation:

use variables for the vans and buses

let x= vans and y=buses

Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously

<em><u>remember</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>number</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equations</u></em>

6x+7y=412..........1

6x+9y=504.........2

make x the subject of one equation

and label it equation 3

6x=412—7y

$x = \frac{206}{3} - \frac{7y}{6} .............3$

subs 3 into 2

$6( \frac{206}{3} - \frac{7y}{6} ) + 9y = 504$

$412 - 7y + 9y = 504$

$- 7y + 9y = 504 - 412$

$2y = 92$

$y = 46...................4$

subs 4 into 1

$6x + 7(46) = 412$

$6x + 322 = 412$

$6x = 412 - 322$

$6x = 90$

$x = 15$

Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.
