Answer:

18 students

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves a system with two variables. From the problem, we can get the two initial equations.

(A) 6v + 8b = 396

(B) 12v + 11b = 612

Dividing (A) by 2,

(C) 3v + 4b = 198

Multiplying (A) by 2,

(D) 12v + 16b = 792

Subtracting (D) from (B),

5b = 180

(E) b = 36

Substituting (B) into (C),

3v + 4(36) = 198

v + 4(12) = 66

v + 48 = 66

v = 66 - 48

(F) v = 18

Therefore, a van can carry 18 students.

Hope this helps!
