Answer:201 students
Step-by-step explanation: Since there are seven kids riding in cars, you would subtract 7 from 1213 to get 1206 students. The six buses means you divide by 6 to get 201 students in each bus.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up the problem like this:
14x-17 = 8x + 1
Now we subtract 14x from each side. This leaves us with:
-17 = 6x+1
Now we need subtract 1 from each side, leaving us with:
-18 = -6x
And now we divide each side by 6x, leaving us with.
3 = x.
And if you insert three into both of the equations, it will result in 25.

To set up your system of equations is to have 2 equations. They both would have 1 similar variable. For example, Jenny is 5 more her brother's age. She is also 2 more than twice her brother's age. You would set this up as Y, which is Jenny, and X, her brother. Y = 5 + x and Y = 2x + 2. Make sure you put Y in the same spot in both equations. Then take the other half of the equations and simplify them. 5 + x = 2x + 2. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = x + 2. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3 = x. Now replace the X from both equations to get Y = 5+3, and Y = 2(3) + 2. You will see both add up to 8, which is how old Jenny is in this example. Hope this helped!
