Answer:

#adult tickets sold = 346

#student tickets sold = 812

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = # adult tickets sold

let 'y' = # students tickets sold

System of Equations:

x + y = 1158

5x + y = 2542

I used the elimination method and multiplied the first equation by -1

  -x - y = -1158

+ 5x + y = 2542

  4x  =  1384

   x = 346

346 + y = 1158

y = 812
