Question

At the new Cozy Inn Restaurant, which is still under construction, the owners have hired enough waiters and waitresses to handle 17 tables of customers. The fire marshall has looked at the plans for the restaurant and says he will approve it for a limit of 56 customers. The restaurant owners are now deciding how many two-seat tables and how many four-seat tables to buy for the restaurant. How many of each kind should they buy?

I just need help setting it up.
