Question

a company uses two vans to transport workers from a free parking lot to the workplace between 7 and 9 a.m. One can has 14 more seats than the other. the small van makes two trips every morning while the larger one only makes one trip. the two vans can transport 65 people, at maximum.

Answer 1

y = x + 14     (the larger bus has 14 more seats)
2x + y = 65       ( 2 x two times the seats , as it makes 2 trips the smaller van so the seats will be full twice maximum)

2x + x + 14 = 65   (sub the value of y = x+14 in the second equation)

3x = 51
x = 17 seat (smaller)
y = 31 seat (larger)
