Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[1] - 2x = -14

Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 2x = 14

[1] x = 7

Solution:
y = -2
x = 7

dmitriy555 [2]

At least 14 economy and at least 5 deluxe...total of 45 seats. He makes a bigger profit from selling economy seats....so we need the most economy seats we can get.

40 economy = (40 x 30) = 1200 profit
5 deluxe = (5 x 25) = 125 profit
