Pls help

Answer 1

Answer:

• van: 8
• bus: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let v and b represent the seating capacity of vans and buses, respectively, then the two trips can be described by ...

  8v +8b = 240

  4v +b = 54

Dividing the first equation by 8 gives ...

  v +b = 30

Subtracting that from the second equation gives ...

  3v = 24

  v = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  b = 30 -8 = 22

The number of students in each van is 8; the number in each bus is 22.
