Answer:
I believe it's A=5 times 9 but since the triangle is special (3-4-5), it could be 12 times 5. Hope this kinda help :)
8y - 6 = 5y + 12
- 5y - 5y
3y - 6 = 12
+ 6 + 6
3y = 18
3 3
y = 6
Y = 3(3) +15
y = 9 + 15
y= 24
Let x represent the number originally signed up.
.. 360/x -6 = 360/(x +3)
.. 360*(x +3) -6x(x +3) = 360x . . . . . multiply by the product of denominators
.. 360x +1080 -6x^2 -18x = 360x
.. x^2 +3x -180 = 0
.. (x +15)(x -12) = 0
Solutions are x = {-15, 12}
12 members went on the trip.
_____
The problem wording does not make clear whether the original number (12) or the number suggested by the bus company (15) went on the trip. It would be most reasonable for 15 to go, if the troop had people who were willing.
