Question

The party planning committee has to determine the number of tables needed for an upcoming event. If a square table can fit 8 people and a round table can fit 6 people, the equation 150 = 8x + 6y represents the number of each type of table needed for 150 people.

The variable x represents the number of .

The variable y represents the number of .

If y = 9, find the value of x. The committee needs square tables.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12, if Y=9, then 6Y's are 54 which will be subtracted from 150 i.e. 96 which will be divided by 8 and answer is 12.

Answer 2

If y=9, 6y=54

So,

150=8x+54

96/8=x

Therefore, x=12
