Tickets for a matinee at the Paramount Theater cost $2 for student tickets and $3 for adult tickets. Our class spends $72 to see the show. The equation of 2x+3y=72, models the total cost, where x is the number of $2 student tickets and y is the number $3 adult tickets.

Find and interpret (explain) both intercepts in the context of this situation.

2x + 3y = 72 is a perfect equation to solve for the number of students and the number of teachers. y= teachers x= students.
