Let's say x = full price tickets
Let's say y = student tickets
We can write two equations:
From "585 tickets were sold" we can make the equation:
x + y = 585
And from "Full-price ticket is $2.50 and student ticket is $1.75 and total receipts is $1,217.25"...we can make the equation:
2.50x + 1.75y = 1,217.25
So now we can use substitution to find our answer...since we only have to find how many student tickets...we will solve the first equation for x so we can plug that into the 2nd equation to solve for y.
x + y = 585
x + y - y = 585 - y
x = 585 - y
Now we plug that into our 2nd equation: 2.50 (585 - y) + 1.75y = 1217.25
Distribute your 2.50
1462.5 - 2.50y + 1.75y = 1217.25
Add the y's: 1462.5 - 0.75y = 1217.25
Subtract 1462.5 from both sides:
1462.5 - 0.75y - 1462.5= 1217.25 - 1462.5
-0.75y = -245.25
Divide both sides by -0.75:
y = -245.25/-0.75
y = 327
There were 327 student tickets :)
Answer: Yes. When you solve your equations, you're solutions will change a little bit. It's good because it'll give you the right answer.

Answer: Number one would be 3x+2y+-14 and x+y=-4, second one is x=-3, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one is solved by inputting the x and y in each one and finding which one comes out true, the second on is solved by substitution. to find x you would subtract x in the first equation and make it y=4-x then input that equation in the y in the second equation.
