Let a = Adult tickets, s = Student tickets; we are going to set up a system of equations.
8a + 4s = 880
a - s = 20
We are going to multiply the second equation by so that we can cancel out one of the variables and solve for the other. This gives you:
8a + 4s = 880
4a - 4s = 20
Notice the s-variables will cancel:
12a = 900
a = 75
Now we plug in the amount of adult tickets to solve for the student ones.
75 - s = 20
- s = - 55
Divide both sides by - 1
s = 55.
There were 55 student tickets sold and 75 adult tickets.

Answer: this is not worth 5 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there! 252 miles per gallon would be 252 miles/8 gallons. The GCF of 252 and 8 is 4 so we are going to divide by 4. 252÷4=63 and 8÷4=2. In this case, we have a fraction of 63/2.
