(1) Write the equations you are using to represent this system. Be sure to identify what each variable
represents.
(2) If every bus and van have the same number of students, find the number of students in each bus and
van. Show your work.
(3) Identify the method you used to solve this system and explain why you chose this method.

Answer:

A)14v + 16b = 1152

10v + 13b = 925

B)Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was easier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the number of students in a van

Let b be number of students in a bus

A) We are told the first school can fill 14 vans and 16 buses with 1152 students

Thus;

14v + 16b = 1152 - - - - - (eq 1)

Also,we are told that the second school can fill 10 vans and 13 buses with 925 students.

Thus;

10v + 13b = 925 - - - - (eq 2)

B) To solve this we will use elimination method.

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and multiply eq (2) by 7 to give;

70v + 80b = 5760 - - - - eq(3)

70v + 91b = 6475 - - - - - eq(4)

Subtract eq(3) from eq(4) to give;

91b - 80b = 6475 - 5760

11b = 715

b = 715/11

b = 65

Put 65 for b in eq(3) to give;

70v + 80(65) = 5760

70v = 5760 - 80(65)

70v = 560

v = 560/70

v = 8

Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was used because in both equations, we had different digits attached and so it would have been more tedious to use substitution method or graphical method. Thus, elimination method was more easier.

There are some nickels, dimes, and quarters in a large piggy bank. For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes. For every 2 dimes ther
rodikova [14]

Answer: a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) The coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes ,

So, their ratio will be 2:3

and for every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters.\,

So, their ratio will be 2:5

Now, we'll first find the ratio of nickles to dimes to quarters i.e.

Nickle  Dimes  Quarters

2            3

             2               5

So, it becomes ,

Nickle : Dimes : Quarters

2×2     : 3×2        : 3×5

4         : 6            :  15

Now, let the number of nickle be 4x

Let the number of dimes be 6x

Let the number of quarters  be 15x

According to question,

4x+6x+15x=500\\\\25x=500\\\\x=\frac{500}{25}=20

So, number of nickels is given by

4x=4\times 20=80

Number of dimes is given by

6x=4\times 20=120

Number of quarters is given by

15x=4\times 20=300

As we know that

1\ nickel=5\ cents\\\\1\ dime=10\ cents\\\\1\ quarter=25\ cents

So, According to our question, we get

80\times 5+120\times 10+300\times 25=400+1200+7500=9100\ cents\\\\1\ cent=0.01\ dollar\\\\9100\ cents=9100\times 0.01\ dollars=91\ dollars.

Hence,

a) Number of nickels, dimes, and quarters are 80, 120, 300 respectively.

b) the coins are worth of 91 dollars i.e. $91 in the piggy bank.

#31. I just need to know how you did it! THANK YOU
kirill [66]

Answer:

m=60º

n=30º

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle is 180º total

an equilateral triangle has all 60º angles

since the one symbol for a right angle is cut between two triangles you can say that the one angle in the equilateral triangle +n=90º

substituting the values 60+n=90

so n=30

Then since a triangle is 180º you can make an equation that says 180=90+m+n

again substituting 180=90+m+30

60=m

an easy way to check is 180=90+30+60             180=180
