Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students is 221, out of that number 5 ride a van and the rest fill 6 buses with each taking s students.
<u>This can be shown as:</u>
<u>We can solve this for s:</u>
- 6s = 221 - 5
- 6s = 216
- s = 216/6
- s = 36
There are 36 students on each bus.
Answer:
(2, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x + 2y = - 6 → (1)
3x + y = 2 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y
- 6x - 2y = - 4 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 5x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2 + 2y = - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = - 4
Solution is (2, - 4 )
