    X = 2 person tents ... y = 4 person tents

    x + y = 60 ... y = 60 - x

    2x + 4y = 202

    2x + 4 (60 - x) = 202

    2x + 240 - 4x = 202

    2x - 4x = 202 - 240

    -2x = - 38

    x = - 38/-2

    x = 19 < = = u have 19 two person tents

    x + y = 60

    19 + y = 60

    y = 60 - 19

    y = 41 ... and 41 four person tents
