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

Marcus earns $8.40 per hour. He works for 26 hours each week, 48 weeks each year. If he earns over $10,000, then Marcus has to p
MAVERICK [17]

We have been given that Marcus works for 26 hours each week and 48 weeks each year.

Thus in a year he works for 26 \times 48 = 1248 hours.

Now, we have been given that Marcus earns $8.40 per hour.

Therefore, in 1248 hours, he earns

1248 \times 8.40\\
\\
=\$ 10483.2

Marcus has to pay tax if he earns more than $10,000. Now we have calculated that he earns $ 10483.2  which is higher than $10,000.

Therefore, Marcus has to to pat tax.

The point (-1, 3) is the turning point of the graph with equation y = x2 + ax + b,
Burka [1]

Answer:

The turning point of a parabola is the vertex

Vertex form of a quadratic equation: \sf y=a(x-h)^2+k

(where (h, k) is the vertex and a is the coefficient of the variable x²)

Given:

  • \sf y=x^2+ax+b
  • vertex = (-1, 3)

Therefore, a = 1

Substituting a = 1 and the given vertex into the equation:

\sf \implies y=1(x-(-1))^2+3

\sf \implies y=(x+1)^2+3

\sf \implies y=x^2+2x+1+3

\sf \implies y=x^2+2x+4

Therefore, a = 2 and b = 4

Discover the area of a circle with a radius of 15 meters ?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

706.5 meters²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is: A=\pi r^2

'r' is the radius.

We are given the radius of 15 meters.

Using 3.14 for pi:

A=3.14*15^2\\\rightarrow 15^2=225\\A= 3.14 * 225\\\boxed {A=706.5}

The area of the circle should be 706.5 meters².
