Two schools decide to send their students to a picnic on the same day. How many students attend the picnic from the first school?
1. 40 students in all attend the picnic
2. If you multiply the number of students from first school with the number of students from the second school, the answer is 300
(e)
While at first glance, you may be tempted to answer (c), since there are two linear equations and two variables, as you try to solve the question you will get two answers 30 and 10. So you can’t say which one of those applies to the first school
