that people can choose to attend. The school is hoping to sell enough tickets to raise at least $2,700 for the theater department,
Let s represent the number of student tickets sold and let n represent the number of non-student tickets sold. Solve as a system of equations.​

Answer 1

388 I just toook the test

Answer 2

x=137

y=525-137

y=388

Explanation:

Let the student tickets be x

Let the geral Admission tickets be y

x+y=525

y=525-x

4x+6y=2876 (subsitute for y)

4x+6(525-x)=2876

4x+3150-6x=2876

-2x=-274

x=137

y=525-137

y=388

Hence, about 137 childern tickets were sold and 388 gernal admission tickets were sold.
