Pls help me!!

Jim sold 396 tickets for the school play. Student tickets cost $3 and adult $4. Jim's sales totaled $1385.

Determine then numbers of adult tickets and the number of student tickets Jim sold?

(if possible add a picture of your work so I can copy it hehe)​

Answer:

Explanation:

3x + 4y = 1385

x + y = 396

3x + 4y = 1385

-3x - 3y = -1188

y = 197 adult tickets

x + 197 = 396

x = 199 student tickets
