Answer:

Advance tickets sold: 30

Same-day tickets sold: 25

Explanation:

So, let's assume that the number of advance tickets is the variable
x, and the number of same-day tickets is
y.

Since the cost of advance tickets is $25 dollars, we can show that using
25x, and the cost of same-day tickets is $35, we can show that with
35y. The total cost of the tickets is $1625 and the total number of tickets is 55.

Now, let's form a system of equations with this information.


25x+35y=1625\\x+y=55

Step 1: Rearrange equation so that it solves for a variable


x+y=55 can be rewritten as
y=-x+55

Step 2: Substitute


y=-x+55, so, we can write this in the first equation as:
25x+35(-x+55)=1625

Step 3: Simplify


25x-35x+1925=1625\\-10x=-300\\x=30

So the number of advance tickets sold are 30.

Now, let's solve for the number of same-day tickets sold.

Step 4: Solve for y

Using our equation from above (
y=-x+55), we can substitute the value that we solved for (
x=30) to solve for the variable y.


y=-30+55\\y=25

The number of same-day tickets sold are 25.

Hope this helped ya :)
