Answer:

The Number of students:

A van can carry = x = 8 students

A bus can carry = y = 51 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Number of students:

A van can carry = x

A bus can carry = y

School A rented and filled 5 vans and 9 buses with 499 students.

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

School B rented and filled 10 vans and 9 buses with 539 students.

10x + 9y = 539..... Equation 2

Combining both Equations

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

10x + 9y = 539..... Equation 2

Using Elimination method

Subtract Equation 2 from 1

-5x = - 40

x = -40/-5

x = 8 students

Solving for y using Equation 1

5x + 9y = 499.... Equation 1

5 × 8 + 9y = 499

40 + 9y = 499

9y = 499 - 40

9y = 459

y = 459/9

y = 51 students

Therefore,

The Number of students:

A van can carry = x = 8 students

A bus can carry = y = 51 students

Eight times a number plus five times another number is -13 the sum of the two numbers is 1 what are these numbers
m_a_m_a [10]

The two numbers are -6 and 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that eight times a number plus five times another number is -13

The sum of two numbers is 1

To find: the two numbers

Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"

From given information,

Eight times a number plus five times another number = -13

eight times a number "a" + five times another number "b" = -13

8a + 5b = -13 ---- eqn 1

Also given that sum of two numbers is 1

sum of two numbers = 1

a + b = 1 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "b"</u></em>

From eqn 2,

a = 1 - b ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1

8(1 - b) + 5b = -13

8 - 8b + 5b = -13

8 - 3b = -13

-3b = -13 - 8

-3b = -21

<h3>b = 7</h3>

Substitute b = 7 in eqn 3

a = 1 - 7

<h3>a = -6</h3>

Thus the two numbers are -6 and 7
