The two high schools in your district plan a trip to new york city. your high school rents and fills i van and
7 buses with 180 students. the other high school rents and fills 6 vans and 6 buses with 216 students. there
are no open seats in any van or bus. define your variables and create an equation to model each situation
how many students can a van carry? how many students can a bus carry?

Van 12 students, Bus 24 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students that a van can carry is "x" and the number of students a bus can carry is "y"

According to the given data, 1 van and 7 buses carry 180 students.

Since, number of students in one van is "x" and number of students in one bus is "y", the number of students in 1 van and 7 buses would be x + 7y. So, we can set up the equation as:

x + 7y = 180                                           Equation 1

Also,

6 vans and 6 buses can carry 216 students. 6 vans will carry 6x students 6 buses will carry 6y students, so we can set up the second equation as:

6x + 6y = 216

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

x + y = 36                                             Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1, we get:

x + 7y - (x + y) = 180 - 36

x + 7y - x - y = 144

6y = 144

y = 24

Using the value of y in Equation 1, we get:

x + 7(24) = 180

x + 168 = 180

x = 12

Since, x represents the number of students a van can carry and y represents the number of students a bus can carry, we can conclude:

A van can carry 12 students and a bus can carry 24 students.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.

i can't solve unless i know what the line is
