The local high school is hosting the last soccer game. They charged adults, x, 5 dollars to enter, and 3 dollars for students, y. It cost the school $300 to pay the referees for the game. The school wants to make a profit on the game, and 75 people attended. This is represented by the system:
5x + 3y > 300
x + y = 75

Which of the following points is a solution to the system?
(20, 15)
(25, 70)
(30, 45)
(40, 35)

IVE HEARD (30, 45) AND (40, 35). PLEASE HELP.

Word problem can be solved by interpreting the problem into its best fit equation. The equation may be linear, quadratic or simultaneous equations.

Given that

5x + 3y > 300

x + y = 75

Let us first assume that 5x + 3y = 300. That is,

5x + 3y = 300

x + y = 75

Eliminate y by multiplying equation 2 by 3

5x + 3y = 300

3x + 3y = 225

2x = 75

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

Substitute x in equation 2

37.5 + y = 75

y = 75 - 37.5

y = 37.5

The correct answer is (40, 35) because 40 +35 = 75 and

(40 x 5) + (35 x 3) > 300

Therefore, the solution to the system is (40, 35)
