x = number of $80 per day rooms
y = number of $90 per day rooms
x + y = 80 {total number of occupied rooms is 80}
80x + 90y = 6930 {value of room times number of rooms equals total value}
-80x - 80y = -6400 {multiplied top equation by -80}
80x + 90y = 6930 {bottom original equation}
----------------
10y = 530 {added the two equations together}
y = 53 $90 per day rooms {divided each side by 10}
x + y = 80 {top original equation}
x + 53 = 80 {substituted 53, in for y, into top original equation}
x = 27 $80 per day rooms {subtracted 53 from each side}
53 $90 per day rooms
and
27 $80 per day rooms
