Answer:

No. pp you can fit in a van: 6,

No. pp you can fit in a bus: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v = # of pp in vans, and let b = # of pp in buses:

8v + 9b = 228,

4v + 5b = 124

If we solve this system of equations by substitution, we isolate the first eq. for v and then substitute into the bottom eq:

v = 228-9b/8,

Substitute v = 228-9b/8 into bottom eq:

[4 * 228-9b/8 + 5b = 125]

[228+b/2=124]

[228+b = 248]

[b = 20]

Now substitute 20 to find no. of pp in the vans:

v = 228 - 9(20)/8 = 228  - 180/8 = 48/8 = 6

Solve x 2 + 9x + 8 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?
Sindrei [870]

So firstly, what two terms have a product of 8x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be x and 8x. Replace 9x with x + 8x: x^2+x+8x+8=0

Next, factor x^2 + x and 8x + 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: x(x+1)+8(x+1)=0

Now you can rewrite the equation as (x+8)(x+1)=0

Now using zero product property, solve for x:

x+8=0\\ x=-8\\ \\ x+1=0\\ x=-1

<u>In short, the solutions are {-1,-8}, or C.</u>
