For a National Junior Honor Society Induction Celebration, Ahmed is renting tables and chairs. He wants to have only tables for 4 and tables for 6. The total number of people that can be seated in the school cafeteria with these tables is 160.
Write an equation to represent the situation. Let x represent the number of 4 seat tables and y represent the number of 6 seat tables.
Question
Answer:
There are different combinations you can do…. for example
10 tables of 4 and 20 tables of 6
or
25 tables of 4 and 10 tables of 6
so Im not sure which :/ but the equation would be:
10x+20y=160
or
25x+10y=160
there are different combinations of the two so im not sure T_T
