There were 2 types of tickets sold: Student tickets cost $4 each and adult tickets cost $7 each. If x represents the number of student tickets sold and y represents the number of adult tickets sold, write an equation that represents the total amount of money collected from ticket sales.

4(900 - y) + 7y = 5100.....this is ur 1 equation
