If there are x small vans and y large vans, then
8x+12y = 48
or,
2x+3y = 12
A group of 48 people is traveling to a nature preserve in small and/or large vans. A small van holds 8 people and a large van holds 12 people. Define your variables and write an equation in standard form that models the number of small and large vans that your group could use
