Adult tickets + kids tickets = 120$
Y represents kids tickets
Z represents adult tickets

Z = twice kids tickets = 2Y

In ecuation:

Z + Y = 120$

Replace Z with 2Y

2Y + Y = 120 $

3Y= 120 / divided by 3

Y = 40$

You know the cost for 1 kid ticket

40 : 4 = 10 kids tickets sold

Z = 2x 40= 80$ for adult tickets

80:8 = 10 adult tickets sold
