Answer: 2 buses and 4 vans would be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of buses that would be needed.

Let y represent the number of vans that would be needed.

There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. This means that

x + y = 6

142 students are going on a field trip. A bus can hold 51 people while a van can hold 10. This means that

51x + 10y = 142 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes

51(6 - y) + 10y = 142

306 - 51y + 10y = 142

- 51y + 10y = 142 - 306

- 41y = - 164

y = - 164/ - 41

y = 4

x = 6 - y = 6 - 4

x = 2

a taxi driver charges $2.25 per mile. the driver also charges a one time $12 fee. write and solve an equation to determine how m
Andrew [12]

Answer:

if x is the number of miles driven, the equation is 2.25x + 12=30. solved: x = 8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you make the equation. If x is the number of miles, the price per mile would be 2.25 times x or 2.25x. You also have to add the one time fee of $12, so you have 2.25x + 12. Next, you're trying to find x if it costs $30 total so you would have 2.25x + 12 = 30.

Solving,

2.25x + 12 = 30

subtract 12 from both sides

2.25x = 18

divide both sides by 2.25

x = 8 miles

Two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 12 cm. Which answer CANNOT be the measure of the third side? 4, 8, 12, or 16?
scoundrel [369]
(8+12) > side > |8-12|
20 > side > 4, Then 4 cm is the solution.

For what values of the variable does the following expression make sense:
Marianna [84]

This question revolves around the concept of domain (primarily) and range (secondarily).  The domain of the square root function is [0, +infinity).


The domain of "three times the sqrt of a" shares that domain:  [0, +infinity).

We were not asked to come up with the range, but if the range is wanted, it is

[0, +infinity).

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.
nignag [31]

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0  (divisible)

2) Assume that f(k) is divisible by 5, f(k)=(k)^{5}-k

3) Induction,

f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)

=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1

=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k

Now, f(k+1)-f(k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)

f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k

f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k

Take out the common factor,

f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)      (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)

We have proved that difference between f(k+1) and f(k) is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since f(k) is divisible by 5, then f(k+1) must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number n^{5}-n is a multiple of 5.
