A company uses two vans to transport workers from a free parking lot to the
workplace between 7:00 and 9:00 a. m.
One van has 6 more seats than the other.
The smaller van makes two trips every
morning while the larger one makes only
one trip. The two vans can transport 57
people, maximum.
How many seats does the larger van have?

The larger van has 23 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of Equations:

1. Define variables.

> let x=small van and y=larger van

2. create 2 equations based on the information given.

> y = 6 + x

> 2x + y = 57

3. Use any method to solve

Substitution: 2x + (6 + x) = 57. x=17

                      now plug x in to the original equation to solve for y (the larger van)

                      y = 6 + 17 and y = 23

Elimination: 2y = 12 + 2x

                     y = 57 - 2x

         3y = 69  and y = 23

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
