8v + 9b = 228
4v + 5b = 124....multiply by -2
------------------
8v + 9b = 228
-8v - 10b = - 248 (result of multiplying by -2)
----------------add
-b = - 20
b = 20 <=== each bus holds 20 students

4v + 5b = 124
4v + 5(20) = 124
4v + 100 = 124
4v = 124 - 100
4v = 24
v = 24/4
v = 6 <=== each van holds 6 students

larisa [96]
<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>

A rectangular pool 18 meters by 12 meters is surrounded by a walkway of width x
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

x=3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangular pool

A=LW

we have

L=18\ m\\W=12\ m

substitute

A=18(12)=216\ m^2

step 2

Find the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

Let

x ----> the width of the walkway

we have

L=(18+2x)\ m\\W=(12+2x)\ m

substitute

A=(18+2x)(12+2x)

step 3

Find the area of the walkway

To find out the area of the walkway subtract the area of the pool from the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

so

A=(18+2x)(12+2x)-216

step 4

Find the value of x if the area of the walkway equal the area of the pool

so

(18+2x)(12+2x)-216=216

Solve for x

(18+2x)(12+2x)=432\\216+36x+24x+4x^{2}=432\\4x^{2} +60x-216=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=3 meters

see the attached figure
