    Hello,

    Pam is a wedding planner She is setting up a room to seat at least 100 guests. She has some tables that seat 10 people and some tables that seat 5 people. She only has 10 of the tables that seat 5.

    Let x = the number of 10-person tables, and y = the number of 5-person tables.

    She has 10 table that fit 5 people and an unknown number of tables that could fit 10 people.

    In the beginning of the passage question, it states that Pam is seating up a room to sea at least 100 guests, so we use t he notation a ≥ b means that a is greater than or equal to b.

    a ≥ b

    10x + 5 (10) ≥ 100

    10x + 5 (10) ≥ 100 is your answer.

    Simplfied, 10x + 5 (10) ≥ 100 = x ≥ 5

    Thus, there are 5 + tables that seat 10 people. This would make sense because if there are 10 tables that fit 5 people, in total those tables would fill 50 peoples, and if there are 5 tables that fit 10 people, in total those tables would fill 50 people. 50+50 is 100. There are at least 100 guests attending, thus this is correct.

    Faith xoxo
