Answer:
a.
b. His teacher will receive more pencils (See explanation).
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The total number of pencils Louis brings to school is:
Then, in order to calculate the number of pencils Louis’s teacher will receive after he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, you need to solve the division show in the picture attached.
Notice that the remainder obtained is: .
<em>This means that Louis’s teacher will receive 4 pencils.</em>
b. If Louis decides instead to take an equal share of the pencils along with his classmates, his teacher will receive more pencils; because the amount of pencils each classmate will receive will be less. This means that the number of pencils leftover will increase, leaving more pencils for his teacher.
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:
a(3) + b(4) = 4
b(3) + a(4) = 8
rearrange to line up a’s and b’s
3a + 4b = 4
4a + 3b = 8
now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.
4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16
3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24
Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:
12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24
7b = -8
b = -8/7
Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:
3a + 4(-8/7) = 4
3a + (-32/7) = 4
3a - (32/7) = 4
3a = 4 + (32/7)
3a = (28/7) + (32/7)
3a = 60/7
a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.
Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.
4a + 3b = 8
4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?
(80/7) - (24/7) = ?
56/7 = 8.
