Question

New York City is a popular feild trip destination. This year the senior

class at High School A and the senior class at High School B both
planned trips there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled
8 vans and 4 buses with 220 students. High School B rented and filled 12 vans and 4 buses with 228 students. Every van had the same
number of students in it as did the buses. How many students can a
van carry? How many students can a bus carry?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: look so if you have

shcool A its 8v+4b=12

and

School B: 12v+4b= 16

since both classes used 4 busses we can use elimination by subtracting the A class Equation from the b class equation to solve from v for its value Then, use either equation and the now found value for v to solve for b.

You should find part of the process to be

12v+4b-(8v+4b)=12-16 which shows the van holds only a few people even before continuing the solution.
