Answer 2

Singer A generated ​$ 210 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated ​$ 184 million

Explanation:

Let

x = number of millions of dollars generated by Singer A

y = number of millions of dollars generated by Singer B

Together, they generated ​$394 million

x + y = 394

Singer B took in ​$26 million less than Singer​ A

y = x - 26

We got a system of equations with two unknowns

x + y = 394

x - y = 26

We add them together

2x = 420

x = 210

y = (210) - 26 = 184

This means that

Singer A generated ​$ 210 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated ​$ 184 million
