1. The Senior Class of Great Ridge High School and Ann Arbor High School are planning a trip to Six Flags Theme Park. Great Ridge High school is planning to rent and fill 14 vans and 16 busses with 1152 students. Ann Arbor High School is planning to fill 10 vans and 13 buses with 925 students. (1) Write the equations you are using to represent this system. Be sure to identify what each variable
represents.
(2) If every bus and van have the same number of students, find the number of students in each bus and
van. Show your work.
(3) Identify the method you used to solve this system and explain why you chose this method.

A)14v + 16b = 1152

10v + 13b = 925

B)Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was easier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the number of students in a van

Let b be number of students in a bus

A) We are told the first school can fill 14 vans and 16 buses with 1152 students

Thus;

14v + 16b = 1152 - - - - - (eq 1)

Also,we are told that the second school can fill 10 vans and 13 buses with 925 students.

Thus;

10v + 13b = 925 - - - - (eq 2)

B) To solve this we will use elimination method.

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and multiply eq (2) by 7 to give;

70v + 80b = 5760 - - - - eq(3)

70v + 91b = 6475 - - - - - eq(4)

Subtract eq(3) from eq(4) to give;

91b - 80b = 6475 - 5760

11b = 715

b = 715/11

b = 65

Put 65 for b in eq(3) to give;

70v + 80(65) = 5760

70v = 5760 - 80(65)

70v = 560

v = 560/70

v = 8

Number of students in a van = 8

Number of students in each bus = 65

C) Elimination method was used because in both equations, we had different digits attached and so it would have been more tedious to use substitution method or graphical method. Thus, elimination method was more easier.
