Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the seats in the small van

y is the seats in the large van = (x+6), Science the large has 6 more seats.

science the 2 van can transports 57 peoples.

small van make 2 trips = 2x

Large van make one trips = (x+6)

2x+(x+6) = 57

2x+x+6 = 57

3x+6 = 57

3x = 57-6

3x = 51

x = 51/3

x = 17

the large van has (x+6) = (17+6) = 23

the large van has 23 seats.

mark me brainliest.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Let number of seats in smaller van=x and number of seats in larger van=y

Therefore,

y=x+6

And 2x+y=57

2x+x+6=57

3x=51

x=17

y=17+6=23

Number of seats in larger van=23.
