Chester High School rented and completely filled 4 vans and 2 busses with 112 students.Lewisville High School rented and completely filled 6 vans and 3 busses with 168 students. Write a system of equations that would help you find the number of students on a van and a bus.

a.) 4v+2b=168
6v+3b=112

b.) 6v+2b=168
4v+3b=112

c.) 4v+2b=112
6v+3b=168


d.) 4v+6b=168
2v+3b=112

Answer 1

the answer is c
the 1st high school has 4 vans so 4v and 2 busses so 2b and as a total they have 112 students so then you get the equation 4v+2b=112
the next high school has 6 vans so 6v and 3 busses so 3b with a total of 168 students so then you get the equation 6v+3b=168
