Answer:
Sedan: 4 passengers
Minivan: 6 passengers
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the following system of equations:
, where 
represents the number of people a sedan can seat and 
represents the number of people a minivan can seat.
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have:
Now plug in 
in any of the equations to solve for :
Verify that the solution pair 
works:
Therefore, a sedan can hold 4 passengers and a minivan can hold 6 passengers.
Answer:
X=6
FG=31
GH=22
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: FG+GH=FH
rewrite with values
4x+7 + 5x-8 = 53
combine like terms
9x-1 = 53
add 1 to both sides
9x = 54
divide by 9
x = 6
use 6 end solve for FG and GH
FG = 4(6) + 7 = 31
GH = 5(6) - 8 = 22
Check your answers.. Do FG and GH add up to equal FH (53)?
31 + 22 = 53
I hope this made sense.
This isn't the same problem but it's an idea. of what you're doing.
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is
A=b*h where b=base and h=height
if the base were to increase by 3times and the height were to increase by 2 times then
6A=b*h
The area of the parallelogram would be 6 times larger
So if the original area was 47units², then the new area would be
47*6=282units²
Answer=282units²
