- Make an equation representing the number of vehicles needed.
We have six drivers so
x + y ≤ 6
That's not really an equation; it's an inequality. We want to use all our drivers so we can use the small vans, so
x + y = 6
- Make an equation representing the total number of seats in vehicles for the orchestra members.
s = 25x + 12y
That's how many seats total; it has to be at least 111 so again an inequality,
25x + 12y ≥ 111
We solve it like a system of equations.
x + y = 6
y = 6 - x
111 = 25x + 12y = 25x + 12(6-x)
111 = 25x + 72 - 12x
111 - 72 = 13 x
39 = 13 x
x = 3
Look at that, it worked out exactly. It didn't have to.
y = 6 - x = 3
Answer: 3 buses, 3 vans

Answer:
600 miles in a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable x = number of miles
Company A: 140 + 0.80x
Company B: 80 + 0.90x
Set up an equation:
140 + 0.80x = 80 + 0.90x
Isolate variable x:
60 + 0.80x = 0.90x
60 = 0.10x
600 = x
Check your work:
140 + 0.80(600) = 80 + 0.90(600)
140 + 480 = 80 + 540
620 = 620
Correct!
