Answer

If $50$ tables are produced, then $466$ chairs will be produced.

Work Step by Step

Substituting $ x=50 $ in the given equation, $ 2x+3y=1500 ,$ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 2x+3y=1500 \\ 2(50)+3y=1500 \\ 100+3y=1500 \\ 3y=1500-100 \\ 3y=1400 \\ y=\dfrac{1400}{3} \\ y=466.66666666666666666666666666667 .\end{array} Hence, if $50$ tables are produced, then $466$ chairs will be produced.
