The junior and senior classes are taking a field trip to Telluride. There are 944 students going. Students will ride in school
vans which carry 8 passengers and on schools buses which carry 40 passengers. There are a total of 42 vehicles
How many vans need to be driven? How many school buses will be driven?
a. Write a system of linear equations to represent the situation (don't forget to define the variables).
b. Solve the system by substitution.

23 school vans and 19 school buses

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of school vans and y be the number of school buses needed.

1.  There are a total of 42 vehicles, so

2. Students will ride in school vans which carry 8 passengers, so in x vans there will be passengers and on schools buses which carry 40 passengers, so in y buses there will be passengers. There are 944 students going. Therefore,

a. You get the system of two equations:

b. From the first equation:

Substitute it into the second equation:

Divide this equation by 8:

23 school vans and 19 school buses

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
