Answer:
71 people can attend under these constraints

Step-by-step explanation:

So you write the slope intercept form equation which is 7x+50=200
You got 7x because every tickets cost 7
You add 50 because of the bus
And you’re wondering how many people are able to go by just spending about $200

So you subtract 50 on both side and you are left with 7x=150 so you have to divide 7 on both side next and you get about 71.4... so basically just round it up to 71 people
