A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in a vehicle. A car containing 2 people is charged $14, a car containing 4 people is charged $20, and a van containing 8 people is charged $32. If a bus is charged $122, how many people do you think it contains?

38 people

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we can see that, being two people, the cost is 14 and when it is double, that is, 4 people, the value is not 28 but 20.

Which means that there is an additional value that is being charged for the vehicle, that is:

let "c" be the value of the vehicle and "x" be the value per person

c + 2 * x = 14

c + 4 * x = 20 => c = 20 - 4 * x

replacing:

20 - 4 * x + 2 * x = 14

-2 * x = 14-20

-2 * x = -6

x = 6/2

x = 3

for C:

c = 20 - 4 * 3

c = 8

Which means that the formula for the value of the input would then be:

e = 8 + 3 * n

where "n" is the number of people.

Now, we are told that for e = 122

122 = 8 * + 3 * n

3 * n = 122 -8

n = 114/3

n = 38

which means that for that bus there are a total of 38 people

answer: idk

step-by-step explanation:

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
