Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

canoes = 21

kayaks = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x = students rent canoe

y = students rent kayak

x + y = 28

16x + 19y = 469

elimination of x (times the 1st equation by 6)

16x + 16y = 448

16x + 19y = 469

---------------------- –

-3y = -21

y = -21/-3 = 7 people

subtitute y to find x

x + y = 28

x + 7 = 28

x = 28 - 7 = 21 people
