Answer:
105 students and 150 guests
Explanation:
equation to find the answer are
1x + 5y = 855
x + y = 255
with
x + y = 255
x = 255 - y
now we replace x with (255 - y) into 1x + 5y = 855 to find y
1(255 - y) + 5y = 855
255 - y + 5y = 855
255 + 4y = 855
4y = 855 - 255
4y = 600
y = 150 (number of guests)
now we got y = 150, let's find x
x + y = 255
x + 150 = 255
x = 255 - 150
x = 105 (number of students)
