First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate
x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106
2x=106
divide by 2
x=53
sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13
the numbers are 53 and 13
You can use the sum of angles identities, then rearrange to put the result in the form of tangents.

Answer
The most people you can invite with no more than $240, is 16 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+140=240
6x = 100
x = 16.6666667
Therefore
x = 16.
