EXAMPLE 5
Your class is taking a trip to the public library. You can travel in small and large vans. A small van holds 8 people and a large van holds 12 people. Your class could fill 15 small vans and 2 large vans.
b. Graph the equation from part (a).
c. List several possible combinations.
Solve a multi-step problem
Write an equation in standard form that models the possible combinations of small vans and large vans that your class could fill.
a.
Warm-Up Exercises
SOLUTION
a. Write a verbal model. Then write an equation.
Because your class could fill 15 small vans and 2 large vans, use (15, 2) as the s- and l-values to substitute in the equation 8s + 12l = p to find the value of p.
8(15) + 12(2) = p Substitute 15 for s and 2 for l.144 = p Simplify.
Substitute 144 for p in the equation 8s + 12l = p.
EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
8 s l p12+ =
Warm-Up Exercises
Substitute 0 for s.8(0) + 12l = 144
l = 12
Substitute 0 for l.
s = 188s + 12(0) = 144
ANSWER
The equation 8s + 12l = 144 models the possible combinations.
b. Find the intercepts of the graph.
EXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
Warm-Up ExercisesEXAMPLE 5 Solve a multi-step problem
Plot the points (0, 12) and (18, 0). Connect them with a line segment. For this problem only nonnegative whole-number values of s and l make sense.
The graph passes through (0, 12), (6, 8), (12, 4), and (18, 0). So, four possible combinations are 0 small and 12 large, 6 small and 8 large, 12 small and 4 large, 18 small and 0 large.

• You will write equations in standard form
• How do you write equations in standard form?
Ax + By = C is the standard form of an equation where A, B, and C are real numbers, and A and B are not both 0.
Use the slope formula to find the slope. Write the equation in y = mx + b form. Collect the variable terms on one side of the equation and constants on the other to rewrite the equation in standard form.
