Answer:
x = 4 , y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 14 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y
4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you create an equation to represent the question
8.75+25.75x≤420
You put the less than or equal to sign because 420 is the maximum amount of money.
Now you just solve the equation.
25.75x≤420-8.75
25.75x≤411.25
x≤411.25/25.75
x≤15.9708738
Then you have to round down because you cant have .9 of a person.
So x≤15
Then, Check your solution
8.75+(25.75 x 15)≤420
8.75+386.25≤420
395≤420
That is true. But to make sure that is the maximum add another 25.75
395+25.75≤420
420.75≤420
This is equation is false so, our answer is correct.
The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
