Answer:

x = number of students in the van = 14

y = number of students in the bus = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of students in the van

y = number of students in the bus

14x + 2y = 270 (1)

9x + 9y = 459 (2)

Multiply (1) by 9 and (2) by 2

126x + 18y = 2,430 (3)

18x + 18y = 918 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3)

126x - 18x = 2,430 - 918

108x = 1,512

x = 1,512 / 108

= 14

x = 14 students in each van

Substitute x = 14 into (1)

14x + 2y = 270

14(14) + 2y = 270

196 + 2y = 270

2y = 270 - 196

2y = 74

y = 74/2

= 37

y = 37 students in each bus

x = number of students in the van = 14

y = number of students in the bus = 37

Slope is -2,and (5,3) is on the line
Rama09 [41]
With this information we know that in slope-intercept form that the equation will at least look like this.
y= -2x + b.

But we have to look for b. In order to do this we are going to have to plug in (5,3) into the x and y values.

3= -2(5) + b
3= (-10) + b
13= b

We then put this b value into the slope intercept formula.

y= -2x + 13 < this is your final answer

A door is 6 feet 6 inches high and 36 inches wide. Can a thin piece of plywood 7 feet wide be carried through the door?
Misha Larkins [42]
Answer: No

If you convert the 6 ft to inches you should get that the door is 78 inches high and 36 inches wide.

You then convert the 7ft of plywood to inches to see if it can fit. The plywood is 84 inches so it cannot fit.
