<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The cost of an advance ticket = $40</h2><h2>The cost of an same day ticket = $30</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of tickets to a show, advance and same day tickets.

Let the advance ticket be represented as x and same day ticket as y.

The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $70.

x + y = 70 .... (1)

For one performance 35 Advance tickets and 25 same day tickets were sold the total amount paid for the ticket was 2150

35 x + 25 y = 2150 ... (2)

multiply eq (1) by 25, we get

25 x + 25 y = 1750 ... (3)

subtract eq (3) from (2), we get

10 x = 400,

x = 40, substitute in eq (1)

40 + y = 70

y = 30

The cost of an advance ticket = $40

The cost of an same day ticket = $30
