No. If you still want the 46 7/8 square foot table and less than 6ft wide than the table length must be greater than 7 1/2 feet long. For the math to work out. Because, the 7 1/2 foot long table would need a 6 1/4 wide table to fit the 46 7/8 square foot.
A simpler form of this expression would be 19y-9
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
I'm pretty sure it is 1 out of nine or 1 out of 8.
