What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

Tickets for a soccer game cost $5 for students and $8 for adults.

The number of students was 7 less than 11 times the numbers of adults.

The amount of the money from tickets was 3682.

Let x be the number of students and y be the number of the adults.

Then the equation will be

x = 11y – 7  …1

5x + 8y = 3682 …2

From equation 1 and 2, we have

5(11y – 7) + 8y = 3682

55y + 8y – 35 = 3682

                63y = 3717

                    y = 59

Then the value of x will be

x = 11 × 59 – 7

x = 642
