Answer 2

A

Explanation:

Let m be the number of tables needed. The owner plans to buy m tables that each seat 4 people. All these tables seat
`4\cdot m=4m` people. There is currently a private chef's table that seats 2 people. In total, m tables and chef's table can seat
`4m+2` people.

The owner of a new restaurant wants to have seating for more than 68 people. Thus,

`4m+2>68.`
