Answer:

Sedan: 4 passengers

Minivan: 6 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}2s+1m=14 \\2s+2m=20\end{cases}, where s represents the number of people a sedan can seat and m represents the number of people a minivan can seat.

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have:

2s+2m-(2s+1m)=20-14,\\\\m=6

Now plug in m=6 in any of the equations to solve for s:

2s+1(6)=14, \\2s=8, \\s=4

Verify that the solution pair (4, 6) works:

2(4)+1(6)=14\: \checkmark \\2(4)+2(6)=20 \: \checkmark

Therefore, a sedan can hold 4 passengers and a minivan can hold 6 passengers.

Write a linear equation in the form y=mx+b given the following two points.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

D. y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

once you plot the points, you see that the y-intercept is -2 and the rise over run is 6/3. you simplify 6/3 by dividing and get 2x. So y=2x-2.

Hope this helped!
