Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill

in the blanks.
A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Stafford.
The company pays a flat fee of $50 to rent a facility in which to hold each session.
Additionally, for every attendee who registers, the company must spend $18 to purchase
books and supplies. Each attendee will pay $23 for the seminar. Once a certain number of
attendee register, the company will be breaking even. What will be the company's total
expenses and revenues? How many attendees will that take?

Please I need help​

Answer:

Revenue and Expense = $230

No. of attendees: 10

Explanation:

Let n be the no. of attendees

Expense = 50 + 18n

Revenue = 23n

Break even when:

50 + 18n = 23n

50 = 5n

n = 10

23n = 230
