Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
5 students travelled by car , leaving 158 - 5 = 153 students to travel by bus.
153 students travelled in 3 full buses, therefore
153 ÷ 3 = 51 students in each bus
( (r+2) * (2r-9)-(r^2+17r+30) )/(r+2)
none of the parenthetical operations or power operations can be simplified further, so multiplication and division first, left to right:
(2r(r+2) -9(r+2) - r^2 + 17r +30)/(r+2)
(2r^2 + 2r -9r+18 -r^2 +17r +30 )/(r+2)
(r^2 +10r +48)/(r+2)
Picking up 8 boxcars after 5 stops makes a total of 40 new boxcars . . . add the original 3 engines, 52 boxcars, and 1 caboose to get a total of . . . 3 + 52 + 1 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 96 total cars
