1/3 of the sum of passengers on two buses was 24 bus 1 has 34 passengers. how many passengers are on bus 2?

To solve this question, we should set up a system of equations. Let a represent the number of passengers on bus 1 and b represent the number of passengers on bus 2.

From the question, we can set up the two equations:

1/3(a+b)=24
a=34

To solve this system, it is easiest to substitute the value we know for a into the first equation. If we do this, we get:

1/3(34+b)=24

To simplify this equation, we need to divide both sides by 1/3 in order to get the variable b alone. After simplifying, we get the equation:

34 + b = 72

Finally, we subtract 34 from both sides to get the variable b alone.

b = 38

Therefore, there were 38 passengers on bus 2.

Hope this helps!
