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 woman bought some large frames for $10 each and some small frames for $5 each add a closeout sale if she bought 20 frames for
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The quantity of large frames is 7

The quantity of small frames is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price of each large frames = $ 10

The price of each small frames = $ 5

The total number of both frames bought = 20

The price for both the frames = $ 135

Now,

Let the quantity of large frames = L

And The quantity of small frames = S

So , According to question

The total number of both frames bought = 20

Or, The quantity of large frames + the quantity of small frame = 135

Or, L + S = 20         ......A

And $ 10 L + $ 5 S = $ 135                         ................B

Or, $ 10× ( L + S ) = $ 10× 20

Or, $ 10 L + $ 10 S = $ 200

(  $ 10 L + $ 10 S ) - ( $ 10 L + $ 5 S ) = $ 200 - $ 135

Or , ( $ 10 L - $ 10 L ) + ( $ 10 S - $ 5 S ) = $ 65

Or, 0 + 5 S = 65

∴  S = \frac{65}{5}

I.e S = 13

So, The quantity of small frames = S = 13

Put the Value of S in eq A

So , L + S = 20

Or, L = 20 - S

Or, L = 20 - 13

∴   L = 7

So, The quantity of large frames = L = 7

Hence The quantity of large frames is 7

And   The quantity of small frames is 13   Answer
