For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 x: number of pillowcases
 y: number of sheets
 We now write the system of equations:
 2x + 5y = 40
 x = 2y
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 8.9
 y = 4.4
 Answer:
 
The maximum number of pillowcases she could have purchased is:
 
x = 8 (spent less than $ 40)

The total number of people at a football game was 5600. Field-side tickets were 40 dollars and end-zone tickets were 20 dollars.
rewona [7]

Answer:

1100 field-side tickets and 4500 end-zone tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of field side tickets and y represent number of end-zone tickets.

We have been given that the total number of people at a football game was 5600. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=5600...(1)

y=5600-x...(1)    

We are also told that Field-side tickets were 40 dollars and end-zone tickets were 20 dollars.

Cost of x field side tickets would be 40x and cost of y end-zone tickets would be 20y.

The total amount of money received for the tickets was $134000. We can represent this information in an equation as:

40x+20y=134000...(2)

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

40x+20(5600-x)=134000

40x+112000-20x=134000

20x+112000=134000

20x+112000-112000=134000-112000

20x=22000

\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{22000}{20}

x=1100

Therefore, 1100 field side tickets were sold.

Upon substituting x=1100 in equation (1), we will get:

y=5600-1100

y=4500

Therefore, 4500 end-zone tickets were sold.
