Seventy of Myra’s classmates are traveling by bus to a football game in another town. They hired 2 buses, but there were only 64 seats. The remaining 6 students had to travel in a separate van. The equation 2b + 6 = 70 represents the given scenario. What does b represent?

From the given equation 2b+6=70 you can determine that

2b=70-6 (here 70 is the number of all classmates and 6 is the number of classmates that have to travel in a separate van),

2b=64, (here 64 represents the number of seats in two buses)

b=32.

Since they hired 2 buses, but there were only 64 seats, then b represents the number of seats in each bus.  

Answer: b represents the number of seats in each bus.
