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

The solution of d + s > -3 is d > -7. What is the value of s?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is that s > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can stick the -7 in for d and then solve the equation. This will leave us with a value for s.

d + s > -3

-7 + s > -3

s > 4

y = (x - 2)(x + 5)    First I would multiply (x - 2) and (x + 5) together

y = x² + 5x - 2x - 10

y = x² + 3x - 10


Next I would plug in a number for x to find its y value. I will plug in 0

y = 0² + 3(0) - 10

y = -10

(0, -10)   [this is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)]


Your answer is Graph A because the y-intercept is (0,-10)
