Answer:Answer:

x = 250

Step-by-step explanation: Let x = number of $3 tickets

Let y = number of $2 tickets

Total = quantity × value

x + y = 350 (equation 1)

3x + 2y = 950 (equation 2)

x = 350 – y (equation 3)

3(350 – y) + 2y = 950

1050 – 3y + 2y = 950

3y – 2y = 1050 – 950

y = 100

x + 100 = 350

x = 250
