Since x represents the number of students, and y represents the number of adult chaperones (and x does not include y), the best answer is A, that there are x = 50 students on the field trip, and they are accompanied by y = 5 chaperones.
Note the difference with choice c, which says that 50 is the total (45 students, 5 adults).
Answer: 120 students
Explanation:
Let x be the number of scopes
Let a be the number of student at school
1x = 5 students
But 5x = a
1x = 4 students
But the principal needs 6 additional scope so that all the students can use it.
=> (x + 6) = 4 students
=> 4(x + 6) = a
Thus,
5x = 4(x + 6)
5x = 4x + 24
5x - 4x = 24
x = 24
So, there are 24 scopes.
Plug x in both equation and compare:
5x = a
5(24) = a
120 = a
4(x + 6) = a
4(24 + 6) = a
4(30) = a
120 = a
Therefore, the students at the school are 120
Here is the answer in the picture.
1/3
*Tip: Just divide each side by the same number (in this case, divide each side by 2)

Assuming that the angles are congruent, then y = 29.
4y - 8 = 79 + y
4y = 87 + y Add 8 to both sides
3y = 87 Subtract y from both sides
y = 29
