Volunteer drivers are needed to bring 80 students to the championship baseball game. Drivers either have cars, which can seat 4 students, or vans, which can seat 6 students.
The equation 4c + 6v = 80 describes the relationship between the number of cars c and number of vans v that can transport exactly 80 students.
Explain how you know that this graph represents this equation.

Diego is thinking of two positive whole numbers. He says, “If we triple the first number and double the second number, the sum is 34.”
Write an equation that represents Diego's description.
Diego is thinking of two positive whole numbers. He says, “If we triple the first number and double the second number, the sum is 34.”
Diego then says, “If we take half of the first number and double the second, the sum is 14.”
