Answer:

Greater number: 35

Smaller number: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Set up system of equations.

Let x = greater number

Let y = smaller number

----------------------------------------------

x + y = 42

x = 5y

2) Solve them using elimination or substitution.

x + y = 42

x - 5y = 0

----------------

6y = 42

y = 42/6

y = 7

3) Substitute the found answer into one of the two equations to find the value of x.

x = 5(7)

x = 35

Therefore, the greater number is 35, and the smaller number is 7.

defon

give brainleist

The answer is Ms Hernandez can bring up to 6 people to the zoo.

x -  the number of people that she can bring to the zoo

The parking will cost $7: a = 7

Admission tickets will cost $15.50 per person: b = 15.50x

She can spend on parking and admission tickets $100:

a + b ≤ 100

a = 7

b = 15.50x

7 + 15.50x ≤ 100

15.50x ≤ 100 - 7

15.50x ≤ 93

x ≤ 93 / 15.50

x ≤ 6
