Question

2. A local baseball stadium has a total of 2,414 seats, with 221 seats reserved for season ticket holders.

If x represents the number of non-reserved seat tickets sold for the upcoming game, which of the following equations can be used to find the number of seats available for the upcoming game?
y = 2,414 - 221x
y = 2,193 - x
y = 2,414 - x
y = 2,193 - 221x

Answer 1

2414 total seats.......221 reserved.....x = non-reserved.....y = remaining seats

y = 2414 - (x + 221)
y = 2414 - x - 221
y = 2193 - x <=====
