The water park is a popular field 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 10 vans and 8 buses with 472 students. High School B rented and filled 9 vans and 8 buses
with 456 students. Every van had the same number of students in it as did the buses. Find the number of students in each van and in each bus.
Sort the steps in order to solve this system of equations.

The sorted steps are;

1) Write the equations: 10·x + 8·y = 472 and 9·x + 8·y = 456

2) Multiply to get one variable to eliminate: -90·x - 72·y = -4248 and 90·x + 80·y = 4560

3) Eliminate x's: 8·y = 312

4) Solve for y: y = 39 (39 buses)

5)Plug back in to find x: 10·x + 8·(39) = 472

6) Solve for x: x = 16 (16 vans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = The number of students in each van and y = The number of students in each bus

We have;

For High School A;

10·x + 8·y = 472...(1)

For High School B;

9·x + 8·y = 456...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by (-9) and equation (2) by 10 to get

(10·x + 8·y) × (-9) = 472 × (-9)

-90·x -72·y = -4,248...(3)

9·x + 8·y × (10)= 456 × (10)

90·x + 80·y = 4,560...(4)

Add equation (3) to (4) gives;

-90·x -72·y + 90·x + 80·y = -4,248 + 4,560

90·x - 90·x -72·y + 80·y = -4,248 + 4,560

8·y = 312

y = 312/8 = 39

y = 39

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), gives;

10·x + 8·y = 10·x + 8 × 39 = 472

10·x + 312 = 472

10·x  = 472 - 312 = 160

10·x  = 160

x = 160/10 = 16

x = 16

The number of students in each van = x = 16 students

The number of students in each bus = y = 39 students.

the statemwnt is the company makes small and large snow cone cups.

large=it holds more then the small

small=it holds less then the large

choice b is correct
