Answer:
a)5
b)17
c) ?

Step-by-step explanation:
The values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>
The equation is given as:
2|x + 7|= x - 8
Expand the absolute bracket
|2x + 14|= x - 8
Remove the absolute bracket
2x + 14 = x - 8 and 2x + 14 = -x + 8
Evaluate the like terms
x = -22 and 3x = -6
This gives
x = -22 and x = -2
Hence, the values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions

I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day!
According to the question statement, the total sum of students is 221, which includes the students that ride on bus and the students that ride in a van.
The students that ride in a van are five, the students that ride on bus are 6 times s which is the product of the number of buses and the number of students that are on each bus.
Write all this information into an equation, this way:

Now, solve the equation for s to find the number of students that are on each bus.

There are 36 students on each bus.
