Given:
$7/child
$10/adult
Total people = 700
Total money = $6,400
First, make two equations.
Let a = # of adults & Let c = # of children.
Let p = total people
1. a+c = 700
2. 10a+7c = 6,400
Then, rearrange the equation to solve for a variable.
c = 700-a
Substitute (700-a) for c, or the # of children in the second equation.
10a+(700-a) = 6400
9a+700 = 6400
9a+700-700 = 6400-700
9a = 5700
9a/9 = 5700/9
a = 633
= # of adults attended
700-633 = c = 66 
= # of children attended

Xy = -126
x + y = -65
x + y = -65
1.9 + y = -65
- 1.9 - 1.9
y = -66.9
(x, y) = (1.9, -66.9)
or
x + y = -65
-66.9 + y = -65
+ 66.9 + 66.9
y = 1.9
(x, y) = (-66.9, 1.9)
The two numbers that add up to -65 and can multiply to -126 are the numbers -66.9 and 1.9.
x + y = -65
x + y = -65
1.9 + y = -65
- 1.9 - 1.9
