10. Algebra There are 267 students and 21 adults going on a school trip. An equal number of people will ride on each bus. If there are 9 buses, how many people will ride on each bus? Write and solve equations.

To find out how many people will ride on each bus, first, determine the total number of people going on the trip by adding the students and adults together: 267 students + 21 adults = 288 people. Then, divide the total number of people by the number of buses: 288 ÷ 9 = 32. So, each bus will have 32 people riding on it. In equation form, it can be expressed as: Let \( x \) be the number of people per bus. The equation is: \[ 9x = 288 \] Solving for \( x \) gives \( x = 32 \). Each bus will carry 32 people!
