answer

the number of buses is 3

the number of cars is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of the students=165

total number of the vehicles=9

let x represent the number of cars

let y represent the number of buses

x+y=9...........equation 1

(the number of the cars plus the number of the buses= to the number of vehicles )

5x + 45y=165.......equation 2

(the number of student the car can hold plus the number of student the bus can hold= to the total number of the student in a class)

x+y=9.......eqn 1

5x +45y=165....eqn 2

make x the subject of the formula in eqn 1

x+y=9

x= 9-y

substitute for x= 9-y in eqn 2

5(9-y)+45y=165

45-5y+45y=165

-5y+45y=165-45

40y=120

divide both sides by 40

40y÷40=120÷40

y=3

since y represent number of buses,the numbet of bus is 3

Also,substitute for y=3 in eqn 1

eqn 1 is x+y=9

x+3=9

x=9-3

x=6

therefore,the number of cars is 6.

How do you complete the square to rewrite y= x^ -6x + 15 in vertex form
Vaselesa [24]
Vertex form of a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^{2}+k
where (h, k) is the vertex. 

Our aim is to write the expression y=x^{2} -6x+15 in the form 
y=a(x-h)^{2}+k



y=x^{2} -6x+15

y=x^{2} -2*3*x+15

y=(x^{2} -2*3*x+ 3^{2})-3^{2}+ 15

y=(x-3)^{2}-9+15

y=(x-3)^{2}+6

How many times can 2 1/2 be subtracted from 12 1/2
Luba_88 [7]
2 1/2 = 2.5
12 1/2 = 12.5

This means you can calculate how may times it goes in by dividing it and rounding the number down:

12.5 / 2.5 = 5

*5 can not be rounded down so it stays the same

This means that 2 1/2 goes into 12 1/2 5 times. Hope this helps! :)
