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

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A: Raise the number of days to the second power, and then multiply this value by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

if we develop a sequence by understanding the situation, it would be like

3, 6, 12, 24, 48,....

here, it is a geometric sequence having common ratio of r=6/3=12/6=2 and first term a1=3;

for the formula says it would have function like this

Number of infected people=3*2^n^u^m^b^e^r  ^o^f   ^d^a^y^s^

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Option B. 1.93, -11.93 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given equation is x²-23 = 10x and we have to solve the equation for the value of x.

First we simplify the equation to bring in the shape of ax²+bx+c=0

x²-23 = 10x

(x²-23)-10x = 10x-10x

x²-10x -23 = 0

Now we the formula for the value of x= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{10\pm \sqrt{(-10)^{2}-4(1)(-23)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{-10\pm  \sqrt{100+92}}{2}

x= \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{192}}{2}

x=\frac{-10\pm 4\sqrt{12}}{2}

x=-5\pm 2\sqrt{12} = -5\pm (2\times 3.464) = -5\pm 6.93

Now x = (-5+6.93) = 1.93

and x = (-5-6.93) = -11.93
