Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a and s are the numbers of adult and student tickets, respectively.

9a + 14s = 220

11a + 7s = 188 Multiply by -2 and add to first equation.

-22a - 14s = -376

9a + 14s = 220

-----------------------

-13a = -156

a = 12

9(12) + 14s = 220

14s = 112

s = 8

Adult tickets cost $12. Student tickets cost $8.
