Question

If a square table can fit 8 people and a round table can fit 6 people, the equation 150=8x + 6y represents the number of each type needed for 150 people.

The variable x represents the number of...
The variable y represents the number of...
If y=9, find the values of x. The committee needs ____ square tables.

Answer 1

8x+6y=150

the problem say y=9 so replace y with 9 in the problem

8x+6*9=150

then go ahead and multiply that

8x+54=150

then subtract 54 from both sides

8x+54-54=150-54 to get 8x=96

then divide by 8 on each side

8x/8=96/8 to get x=12

so the committee needs 12 square tables
