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

x =  \frac{206}{3}  -  \frac{7y}{6} .............3

subs 3 into 2

6( \frac{206}{3}  -  \frac{7y}{6} ) + 9y = 504

412 - 7y + 9y = 504

- 7y + 9y = 504 - 412

2y = 92

y = 46...................4

subs 4 into 1

6x + 7(46) = 412

6x + 322 = 412

6x = 412 - 322

6x = 90

x = 15

Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.

The equation that corresponds to this diagram is 6 (x+ 1)=24.
Annette [7]

Answer:

x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

6 (x + 1) = 24

6 (x) + 6(1) = 24

6x + 6 = 24

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6

6x + 0 = 18

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

What value(s) of x will make each equation below true
Dahasolnce [82]

We need to solve for x. Let's try problem b:

2x-6=3x+1-x-7

Let us first combine line terms. 3x and -x as well as 1 and -7 can be combined. Let's do that:

2x-6=2x-6

Since this is true, your answer would be:

All real numbers

------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve for problem c:

3x+1=43

Let's isolate x, so subtract 1 from both sides:

3x=42

Since x can't have a coefficient, divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{42}{3}

x=14

So, only the value of 14 would make this equation true.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's try problem d:

4x-1=4x+7

Let's get our whole numbers on the right side. Add 1 to both sides:

4x=4x+8

Subtract 4x from the right side on both sides:

0=8

Since this is not true, your answer would be:

No solution
