Answer:

The system of equations is:

x + y = 250                         (1)

7.25x + 5.50y = 1602.50   (2)

with x = Adult tickets

       y= student tickets

Solution

Let's equation (1)

x+y=250

x=250-y (a)

subtitute x in aquation (2)

7.25(250 - y) + 5.50y=1602.50

1812.50 - 7.25y + 5.50y= 1602.50

1812.50 -1.75y = 1602.50

-1.75y = 1602.50 - 1812.50

-1.75y = -210 ↔multiply both sides by (-1) to remove the minus sign

y= 210/1.75

y= 120

Substitute y in equation (1)

x + 120 = 250

x= 250 - 120

x =130

Let's check our results in equation (1)

x + y =250

120 + 130= 250 ↔ 250 = 250

At the end of the evening they 120 students tickets and 130 adults tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check the results in any of the equations
