Answer:
Okay, so 2 years later, here's your answer.
472 adult tickets and 868 student tickets were sold.
Explanation:
Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.
Let y be the number of student tickets sold.
Your Equations:
x + y = 1340 tickets
5x + (1)y = $3228
Isolate the y variable:
y = 1340 - x
y = 3228 - 5x
Substitute:
1340 - x = 3228 - 5x
Solve:
1340 - x = 3228 - 5x
Add 5x on both sides
1340 + 4x = 3228
Subtract 1340 on both sides
4x = 1888
Divide 4 on both sides
x = 472
Plug in x into an equation:
472 + y = 1340
Subtract 472 on both sides
y = 868
472 adult tickets were sold
868 student tickets were sold.
Voted myself a 1-star XD
