\n" ); document.write( "a)write an expression for the number of pupils going on the trip.
\n" ); document.write( "# of pupils = 14*(number of minibuses)-3
\n" ); document.write( "p = 14m - 3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b)the teacher counts 81 pupils getting on the minibuses. Use this information to form an equation.
\n" ); document.write( "81 = 14m - 3
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "c) Solve this equation to find out how many minibuses were used.
\n" ); document.write( "14m = 81+3
\n" ); document.write( "14m = 84
\n" ); document.write( "m = 6 mininbuses
