Cael · Answer 1

18 per adult, 9 per child total equals 2,475,00 and the hold of guest is 150

Paxton Jacobs · Answer 2

X is the number of adults attending the event

y is the number of children attending the event.

x + y < = 150 is one equation.

18x + 9y < = 2475 is the other equation.

x > = 0 is another equation that is implied because the number of adults can't be less than 0.

y > = 0 is another equation for the same reason as in x > = 0.
