Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer: {x = 4 {y = 1
Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.
Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is Tuesday there will be 15 teachers for 179 students and 12 times 15 is 180
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We were given that

varies directly as

We can write this mathematically as,

This implies that,

where k is the constant of variation.

This implies that,


The equation becomes

When
