Let the number of buses be x

and car be y


• Total vehicle gone are 21


x + y = 21 ..... ( i ) × 4


• There are 30 people in buses and 4 on car total people gone are 318


30x + 4y = 318 ..... ( ii )


Sub ( ii ) from ( i ) × 4


4x + 4y - ( 30x + 4y ) = 84 - 318


4x + 4y - 30x - 4y = - 234


- 26y = - 234


y = 9


Putting the value of y in eq i


x + y = 21


x = 21 - 9


x = 12


Total buses are 12

and total car are 9


Hope it helps...

Let,
Buses = x
Cars = y

1st Case,
x+y = 21

2nd Case,
30x+4y = 318

Solving both equations,
x+y = 21
30x+4y = 318
__________

Increasing 1st Case equation by 4 times,
Now,

4x+4y = 84
-30x(-)+4y = -318
__________
Subtracting 2nd from 1st,
__________
-26x = -234
x = \frac{ - 234}{ - 26} \\
[x = 9]

Now, putting value in 1st Case equation,
x+y = 21
9+y = 21
y = 21-9 = 12
[y = 12]

As per our consideration,
x = Buses & y = Cars

[Buses = 9] & [Cars = 12]

So, There are 9 buses and 12 cars.

The product of two
inessss [21]

Answer:

11 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+1)=132

x^2+x=132

x^2+x-132=0

(x-11)(x+12)=0

x = 11 or x = -12

when x=11 ,

x+1=12

11*12=132

How do u find the slope of (6,-10), (-15,15)
Sergeu [11.5K]
m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}-  x_{1}} = \frac{15 - (-10)}{-15 - 6} = \frac{15 + 10}{-21} = \frac{25}{-21} = -1\frac{4}{21}

     y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-10) = -1⁴/₂₁(x - 6)
   y + 10 = -1⁴/₂₁(x) + 1⁴/₂₁(6)
   y + 10 = -1⁴/₂₁x + 7¹/₇
       - 10              - 10
           y = -1⁴/₂₁x - 3¹/₇
