Respuesta :

corasimone10

Answer:

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

at 2:30:

15 passengers got off and 9 got on.

This means that the number of passengers = x - 15 + 9 ;number of passengers = x -6

10 minutes later:

4 passengers got off the bus

This means that the number of passengers = (x-6) - 4 ;number of passengers = x - 10

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop
