Answer:
Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46
Step-by-step explanation:
use variables for the vans and buses
let x= vans and y=buses
Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously
<em><u>remember</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>number</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equations</u></em>
6x+7y=412..........1
6x+9y=504.........2
make x the subject of one equation
and label it equation 3
6x=412—7y
subs 3 into 2
subs 4 into 1
Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.
