Question 928975: there is 7 times the number of students than teachers on a class trip. the number of students exceeds the number of teachers by 42. How many students and teachers are on the trip?
how do we set this up? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of teachers
y = number of students
---
y = 7x
y = x + 42
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
7x - y = 0
x - y = -42
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
