Distribute the 5 to the (2+y). Parenthisis always come first. after that combine the 5y and the -y. you should end up with 2-(+4y) +2. add the -2 and +2. you should be left with 4y
20 + 40x = 260
40x = 260 - 20
40x = 240
x = 240/40
x = 6 fulltime employees needed

Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
for the right side we can just do 14*2 since there are two people per seat and 14 rows
14 *2 is 28
for the left side we just do 14*3 since there are three people per seat and 14 rows
14*3 is 42
Then we have to add the 8 students that can fit in the very back seat
42 + 28 + 8
28 + 8 is 36
42 + 36 = 78
