The van can carry 6 students and bus can carry 21 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

High School A: 12 vans and 11 buses with 303 students

High School B: 6 vans and 7 buses with 183 students

To find the number of students that a van and a bus can carry.

Let us take,

The van can carry x students and the bus can carry y students.

According to the problem,

12x+11y = 303 ------- (1)

6x+7y = 183 ------- (2)

Multiplying 2 with (2) and subtract (1) and (2) we get,

(12x+11y) - 2(6x+7y) = 303-2(183)

or, 12x+11y-12x-14y = 303-366

or, -3y = -63

or, y = 21

From (2) we get,

6x+7(21) = 183

or, 6x = 183-147

or, 6x = 36

or, x = 6

Hence,

The van can carry 6 students and bus can carry 21 students.

In Olongapo City, a bump car ride costs
dimulka [17.4K]
Solve for n in 270=120 + n*10. 120 gives you first 30 minutes and n is the number of additional 10 minutes you ride. In this case you ride for 30+n*10 minutes. n = (270-120)/10 = 15. So the total time is 30+15*10 = 180 minutes. Or three hours!! That’s a lot of bumper cars!!

If f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x + 2, find (1-9)(x).
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(f-g)(x)=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The correct question is</em>

If f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=x+2, find (f-g)(x)

we know that

(f-g)(x) is equal to subtract the function g(x) from the function f(x)

so

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

substitute the given functions

(f-g)(x)=(3x-1)-(x+2)

Remove the parenthesis

(f-g)(x)=3x-1-x-2)

Combine like terms

(f-g)(x)=2x-3
