Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

  1. Let x be the number of adults and y the number of kids

We can then write this two equations :

          x+y= 33

          15x+7y= 311

  • let's solve the two eaquations

to do that we should combine them both in a way that help us get rid of one of the variables.

             Let's multiply the first equation by -7 to get rid of y by adding it to thr second equation

             -7x-7y= -231

        now add both equations .

              15x+7y-7x-7y=311-231

    we get :  8x = 80

as you notice y is gone and we get a classic easy equation to solve

                x= 80/8

                   = 10

so the number of adults is 10

let's go back to the first equation ( x+y= 33) and replace x with 10

                10+y= 33

                  y= 33-10

                     =23

let's check using the second equation :

            (10*15)+(23*7) = 311

that is true

so :

  •  the number of adults is 10
  • the number of kids is 23

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y\geq -\frac{2}{3} x-3\\
y\leq 3x+8

-\frac{2}{3} x-3=3x+8

Add 2/3 x to both sides:  -3=\frac{11}{3}x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides: -11=\frac{11}{3}x

Multiply both sides by 3:  -33=11x

Divide both sides by 11:  x=-3

Therefore, point of intersection between both lines is at point (-3, -1)
