Answer 1

`4x+8y= 1848\\\\x+y= 283`

Explanation:

Step one:

The admission price for children is $4

The admission price for adults is $8

Let be the number of children and

let y be the number of adults.

The total amount the theater collects in admissions for the day is $1848.

4x+8y= 1848-----------1

The total number of visitors is 283.

x+y= 283----------------2

Step two:

the system of equation for the situation is

4x+8y= 1848

x+y= 283
