Question

You are tasked with helping plan a school dance. You expect 110 people to attend the dance and need to provide seating for each person. The tables come in two different sizes. The smaller tables can fit 2 people, the larger tables can seat 4 people. Write an equation that describes the relationship between the quantity of small tables and the quantity of large tables, assuming exactly 110 people need seats.

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 4y = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The quantity of small tables = x

The quantity of large tables = y

The smaller tables can fit 2 people, the larger tables can seat 4 people.

Equation that describes the relationship between the quantity of small tables and the quantity of large tables, assuming exactly 110 people need seats.

Number of people×quantity (small table) + number of people×quantity (large table) = 110

2x + 4y = 110
