The swimming club went to a swim meet in another town. They took 2 cars and 3 vans. There were 5 people in each car and 3 people in each van. Each car can hold a maximum of 6 people and each van can hold a maximum of 8 people.  How many more people could have ridden with the swim team?
The available number of people in each car is 6 * 2 cars = <T>multiply(6, 2)=12 people.
The available number of people in each van is 8 * 3 vans = <T>multiply(8, 3)=24 people.
The total number of people that could go with the team is 12 people + 24 people = <T>add(12, 24)=36 people.
The team took with them 2 cars * 5 people = <T>multiply(2, 5)=10 people.
The team also took 3 vans * 3 people = <T>multiply(3, 3)=9 people.
The team brought 10 people + 9 people =<T>add(10, 9)=19 people.
The team could bring an additional 36 people - 19 people = <T>subtract(36, 19)=17 people.
