It takes 45 seconds. the easiest way to do these is to use a graphic calculator and replace the variables with x and y, for example, this equation would become -5x^2+30x, and if you don't have access to a graphing calculator, you can always use desmos online.

$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50
It is given that b = 82
Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50
or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50
$10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00
Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets
