The senior classes at High School A and High School B planned separate trips to Lake Compounce. The senior class at High School

A rented and filled 6 vans and 7 buses with 412 students. High school B rented and filled 6 vans and 9 buses with 504 students. Every van had the same number of students in it as did the buses. Find the number of students in each van and in each bus.

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.

Answer:

  ∠CAB = 28°

  ∠DAC = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do in each case is make use of the relationships you know about angles in a triangle and around parallel lines. You can also use the relationships you know about diagonals in a rectangle, and the triangles they create.

<u>Left</u>

Take advantage of the fact that ∆AEB is isosceles, so the angles at A and B in that triangle are the same. If we call that angle measure x, then we have the sum of angles in that triangle is ...

  x + x + ∠AEB = 180°

  2x = 180° -124° = 56°

  x = 28°

The measure of angle CAB is 28°.

__

<u>Right</u>

Sides AD and BC are parallel, so diagonal AC can be considered a transversal. The two angles we're concerned with are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.

  ∠BCA = ∠DAC = 64°

The measure of angle DAC is 64°.

(Another way to look at this is that triangles BCE and DAE are congruent isosceles triangles, so corresponding angles are congruent.)

Set 1: 8, 15, 13, 7, 11, 17, 13
Schach [20]
Set two contains an outlier, which is 100
The measure of spread that was most impacted by the outlier is the range
This is because in set two, the median,both quartile and the interquartile range are all closely grouped together but the range is 93, which is far far away from any of those other values

The sum of the roots of x² + 6x - 55 = 0 is: <br> A. 6 <br> B. -6 <br> C. -55
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the roots = - \frac{b}{a}

x² + 6x - 55 = 0

with a = 1 , b = 6 , then

sum of roots = - \frac{6}{1} = - 6
