Answer:

88 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

3s + 7a = 1102

(s + a = 250)-3

3s + 7a = 1102

+ -3s - 3a = -750 Add these equations together

4a = 352 Divide both sides by 4

a = 88

Now plug this into the second equation

s + a = 250

s + 88 = 250

- 88 - 88 Subtract 88 from both sides

s = 162

You're supposed to make two equations then subtract them but it comes out as a decimal

The second equation is made by the student ticket cost/3$ times the amount of tickets sold/250.

x+y=250--> 3x+3y=750

7x+<u>3y</u>=1102

5x =352

then 352/5=70.4

Idk if i did something wrong but this is what i got.
