    5x=20

    x=20/5

    x=4 (adults)

    2y=20

    y=20/2

    y=10 (children)

    x-intercept: 4 This means that only 4 adults can come under the budjet of $20

    y-intercept: 10 This means that only 10 children can come under the budjet of $20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    for y:

    5 (0) + 2y = 20

    2y = 20

    2y/2 = 20/2

    y = 10

    for x:

    5x + 2 (0) = 20

    5x = 20

    5x/5 = 20/5

    x = 4
