The hotel is $250 plus $25 per person so the equation would be
y= 25x + 250
(Y is the total cost and x is the number of people)
the restaurant is $100 plus $40 per person so the equation would be
y = 40x + 100
What we want to know is which x value would make the y values equal to each other. So you can just replace the "y" in one equation with the other equation:
25x + 250 = 40x + 100
and then solve...
1. subtract 100 from both sides
25x + 150 = 40x
2. subtract 25x from both sides
150 = 15 x
3. divide both sides by 15
10 = x
you can check by plugging 10 into the original equations
25(10) + 250
250 + 250 = 500
and
40(10) + 100
400 + 100 = 500
they both cost $500 when you invite 10 people

Answer:
The solution to the system is S= (-2, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system
−4x+5y=−12
x−6y=22
The first step is to solve x from the first equation for example, and substitute the expression in the second equation.
1) -4x + 5 y = -12 ⇒ -4x = -12 - 5y ⇒ x = (-12 - 5y)/-4 ⇒ x = 3 + (5/4)y
2) x - 6y = 22 ⇒ (3 + (5/4)y) - 6y = 22 ⇒ 3 + (5/4)y - 6y = 22
⇒ 3 - (19/4)y = 22 ⇒ (-19/4)y = 22- 3 ⇒ y = 19/(-19/4) ⇒ y =-4.
Finally, with the value obtained for "y", you have to return to the original equations and replace it to obtain the "x" value.
-4x + 5y = -12 ⇒ -4x + 5(-4) = -12 ⇒ -4x - 20 = -12 ⇒ -4x = -12 + 20
⇒ -4x = 8 ⇒ x = 8/-4 ⇒ x = -2.
Summarizing, the solution to this system is S = (-2, -4).
