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

A minor league plays 101 games,
They win 14 more than twice as many as they lost.
How many wins and loses?

Okay, simple.
First, write a simple addition equation. In this case wins = w and losses = l.
l + w = 101.

Now, we have to figure out a way to make one of the terms the same term as the other, in this case we can change the terms of w to l.
l = l
w = 2l +14 (14 more than twice the amount)

Okay. So plug in the new amount for w.
l + 2l + 14 = 101. Great! we now have a simple equation. lets solve.
put similar terms together.
3l + 14 = 101
3l = 87
l = 29
So, we have 29 loses, and
w = 2(29) + 14
72 wins!
To check,
72 + 29 = 101, correct!

Hope this helps!
