Answer 1

The total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49

let

total cars = x

cars made by student = s

cars made by teacher = t

Total = student + teacher

x = s + t

s = 2/7x

So,

x = 2/7x + t

x - 2/7x = t

t = (7x - 2x) / 7

t = 5/7x

Similarly,

s = t - 21

s = 5/7x - 21

equate both s equation

2/7x = 5/7x - 21

2/7x - 5/7x = -21

(2x - 5x) / 7 = -21

- 3/7x = -21

x = -21 ÷ -3/7

= -21 × - 7/3

= (-21 × -7) / 3

= 147/3

x = 49

Therefore, the total number of cars both the student and the teacher made is 49
