Answer:
133 students would fill 2 buses and 3 vans
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of students in each van
No. of students in 12 vans = 12x
No. of students in 14 vans = 14x
Let y be the no. of students in each bus
No. of students in 14 buses = 14y
No. of students in 12 buses = 12y
We are given that The senior class at Snellville rented and filled 12 vans and 14 buses with 796 students.
12x+14y=796 ---1
We are also given that General High rented and filled 14 vans and 12 buses with 738 students.
14x+12y=738 ---2
Plot 1 and 2 on graph
12x+14y=796 --- Green line
14x+12y=738 --- Purple line
Intersection point gives the solution
Intersection point=(x,y)=(15,44)
No. of students in 1 van = 15
No. of students in 3 vans = [tex]15 \times 3 = 45[/tex]
No. of students in 1 bus = 44
No. of students in 2 buses =[tex]44 \times 2 = 88[/tex]
So,Total no. of students in 3 vans and 2 buses = 45+88=133
Hence 133 students would fill 2 buses and 3 vans
