Answer:
They will be picked up at 2
yards above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.
With respect to this reference,
the position of top most point is +17
yards
and the position of lower most point is -13
yards
⇒ The position of midpoint is 
= +2 
∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2
yards above sea level</u>
Answer:
Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46
Step-by-step explanation:
use variables for the vans and buses
let x= vans and y=buses
Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously
<em><u>remember</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>number</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equations</u></em>
6x+7y=412..........1
6x+9y=504.........2
make x the subject of one equation
and label it equation 3
6x=412—7y

subs 3 into 2





subs 4 into 1





Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
4x12=48
1) 9x + 2 = x + 5 ---> 9x + 2 = 6
subtracted X from one side but not the other
2) 3(x-4) + 5 = 12 ---> 3x + 4 + 5 = 12
didn't distribute correctly: 3(x-4)
multiplied the X by 3 but not the -4
